APPROVED ON MAY 23, 2012 BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AT THE WEEKLY BUSINESS SESSION

SOREDI Update; May 9, 2012— 10: 00 a. m. BCC Conference Room Commissioners: Don Reedy and Harold Haugen( Commissioner Hare was unavailable); Ron Fox, SOREDI; Terri Wharton, Recorder.

Vice Chair Reedy called the meeting to order at 10: 00 a. m.

Ron Fox, Executive Director of Southern Oregon Regional Economic Development, Inc. ( SOREDI), reviewed

Exhibit A — Josephine County Activity Report July 2011 through April 2012 with the Board. He discussed several current and future projects that SOREDI is working on.

Mr. Fox reviewed Exhibit B— Impact of SOREDI Lending: January 2010 through March 2012 and discussed the job and wage impact SOREDI has had across the region. He discussed SOREDI' s lending process, which is not in competition with lending institutions.

Mr. Fox reviewed Exhibit C — Grants Pass Company, Ladder-Tite, Wins Grant and Readies for Growth and

explained the Angel Investment Network program. He informed the Board that SOREDI supports the North Valley Sewer District Project. Commissioner Haugen questioned the over-capacity of Exit 61, which currently would not allow growth. Mr. Fox said that Oregon Department of Transportation ( ODOT) has been working on a plan to update Exit 61.

Mr. Fox reviewed Exhibit D —Josephine County Industrial Lands Report and explained that SOREDI' s focus is on the Rendata Industrial Park and North Valley Industrial Park for potential expansion. He said SOREDI has been focusing on possible grants and funding for the North Valley Industrial Park and will continue with the Board' s support.

Commissioner Haugen said he felt that there wasn' t as much growth in Josephine County as Jackson County; the regional banks were all located in Medford, which doesn' t benefit Josephine County, and asked for a breakdown of the membership. He described several members he would like to see involved with SOREDI including residential realtors.

The Board asked Mr. Fox to give a quarterly report to the Board and to invite the SOREDI Board Members from Josephine County to attend occasionally. Mr. Fox agreed and said he would contact their Board Members.

Meeting adjourned at 11: 06 a. m.

Meeting reconvened at 11: 06 a. m.

Commissioner Haugen suggested re-establishing the Blue Ribbon Committee. Commissioner Reedy agreed and said there would be many things that type of committee could do.

It's kind ofsurprising to learn all the resources that are available to help us start-up our business, and it's certainly encouraging," said Ron Gandy, afterhis company Rogue Valley Innovations recently won a$ 7500 value Concept Grant, amidstiffcompetition.

In the spring of 2010, Ron Gandy and his son, Justin, developed a safety device to use in their own small roofing company, and began to show friends and family their" invention." The enthusiasm from family, friends, and other contractors was so encouraging they couldn't help but get a little excited about the possibilities. They began to investigate whether there was anything else like it. After searching online for ladder safety products and finding nothing even close, they took the leap and contacted a legal firm to file a provisional patent. All the details of bringing a new product to market- from fine tuning the design, naming the product, setting up the business structure, finding the components for product and packaging, website development, navigating the patent process, and getting the word out was more complex than they imagined. Rogue Valley Innovations was incorporated in January of 2011 and the work had just begun.

When Justin, the corporate Vice Preside,nt and most enthusiastic advocate, died suddenly in May of 2011, the company nearly died too.

om 3 w e , ii ro 41114 r

f Ron and his wife Carrie decided in the fall of 2011 that pushing ahead with the business would honor Justin's contribution. They began to try and rekindle the progress Ron and Justin had made. Carrie took on the role and responsibilities of Vice President.

In January, Ron read a story in the local paper about the Southern Oregon Angel Investors Conference that was to be held in April. He and his wife contemplated whether they were at the point where they could take on the challenge of presenting to potential investors. After figuring the experience itself would probably provide a variety of opportunities- from preparing the pitch, to meeting people with business start-up experience- they decided to give it a shot.

SOREDI( Southern Oregon Regional Economic Development Inc.), the umbrella organization that hosts the Conference, put together their first ever UpStart Day, where Concept Stage companies were invited to give their best pitch in front of a panel of business startup experts. Panelists with expertise in marketing, finance, private investment and other areas were ready to coach all of the applicants. The Gandys gathered their ladder accident data, put together a three-minute presentation, and Ron was ready to go. The day before the presentation he came down with the flu! Rather than quit, he convinced his wife to step in for him on UpStart Day. When she arrived, Carrie was shaking like a leaf and doing her best to memorize Ron's notes. She had no idea what to expect from the group.

After delivering her presentation, Carrie was beaming. She learned that a group of business experts doesn't have to be intimidating and the questions from the panel were helpful in actually very focusing her message. Some of their questions were directed at the business and operation, but some of it was a direct critique of her presentation style.

After UpStart Day, Carrie integrated the panel' s suggestions into her presentation and went on to present LadderTite at upcoming events. Each step of the way Carrie sought help from those who had volunteered to assist competitors in improving their pitch. Olga Agnew from the SBDC gave Carrie a crash course in Power Point, The Grants Pass Toastmasters offered their public speaking expertise, SOREDI and the Sustainable Valley Technology Group each offered critique on the quality and content of the pitch, and two weeks later in front of almost two hundred investors they gave it their best, AND WON!

The Concept Stage Company Grant includes attendance for the business's officers at the Oregon Entrepreneur Network's Jefferson U - a seven- week business training " bootcamp," office space in Medford at Sustainable Valley Technology Group's Small Business Incubator and a cash grant to help the business with expenses during its" pre-revenue" stage.

From all the books, articles, and advice I've read on business start-ups, the marketing stage is always the biggest hurdle to get over. This has been an invigorating experience. The Angel Conference introduced us to SO many people who are supportive, and they are as excited about our product and our business success as we are!" gushes Carrie.

SOREDI represents economic development efforts and coordinates business development activities to promote Jackson and Josephine Counties, with the help of various partners and resources. One of those resources in Josephine County is The Boardroom, where Ron and Carrie Gandy met to receive their check for$ 2500 from Linda Ganim of CFO Solutions- NW, who provided the cash portion of the grant. A striking building located on Williams Highway, the Boardroom provides meeting and office space, complete with a shared office staff, for a low monthly rent. This provides a perfect environment for a branch office or virtual office. For more information on the

Monte Mendenhall of Pacific Power and Dwight Ellis, retired, both Executive Board Members of SOREDI were also in attendance Thursday, at The Boardroom in Grants Pass, when the Gandys received their actual check for$ 2500.

Ladder-Tite, a lightweight, compact, extension ladder safety device is now available in Grants Pass at City Plywood, Farmer's Building Supply, Field' s Home Center, and Cave Junction at Illinois Valley Building Supply. Demonstration videos are available on youtube search " ladder-tite") and the product is also available online at

As a result of the publicity announcing the Gandys' win at the Angel Conference, the Corporate Safety Director of a national industrial roofing company recently met with Ron to discuss the development and purchase of a customized adaption for their safety program. Further, a regional utility provider is meeting with them to discuss integrating the product into their safety procedures and they have also been contacted by Home Depot.

Participating in SOREDI' s Southern Oregon Angel Investor Conference was probably one of the best things we could have done!" they agreed, " we only wish Justin was here to share the success. We know he would be so proud." x< sc' c/ Josephine Industrial Lands Report p CountytY S

Purpose To define and recommend industrial sites for potential state certification as " Project Ready" or" Decision Ready" by Oregon State. Certified properties have shown a far higher rate of occupancy and desirability to end users than non- certified properties, and certification opens the door to increased opportunities with site selectors and companies looking for confidence in their selections. This report was commissioned by Josephine County's contract with SOREDI, with the desired end result to certify 2 properties in the near future.

Recommendations All industrial zoned properties in Josephine County were examined for their possibilities as certified sites. From this report, two sites are to be chosen for this certification process. Per the attached maps and certification guide, and after meeting with principals for each site, the following sites are recommended, in this order, with the justifications and challenges for each site included:

1- Rendata Industrial Park, (approx. 111. 6 acres total)- This privately owned industrial park is currently undergoing master planning with Ausland Builders, and is also currently pursuing phased certification of its industrial zoned property. At this time, no natural gas is available at Rendata, although it is available at the junction of Merlin/ Galice road and Monument Drive, with the option to bring it to Rendata as it is needed. Sewer service is currently septic or holding tanks, until the planned sewer system in the North Valley is in place. The certification of these properties will likely encourage these infrastructure improvement timelines to accelerate.

2- North Valley Industrial Park- (approx. 20 acres) - Two contiguous parcels at the end of Tech Way provide good opportunity and minimal challenges to certification. One property is owned by the county, and the other property's owners have expressed interest in selling. The properties have I5 Freeway frontage (not specific access) and are within one mile from it by vehicle on Monument Drive. All utilities are stubbed in at the entrance to the properties, with the challenges being adequate sewer service, and wetlands mitigation. The projected cost for a sewer system in the North Valley area is approximately$ 2.5 million, and the timeline for that system to be operational is within the 2012 calendar year.

3- Old mill site, Spalding Industrial Park( approx. 17 acres)- This site has the best overall infrastructure, and is a large property close to Grants Pass. It is within 1 mile of I5. This property is located within the City Limits of Grants Pass, so any contemplation of certifying this site would involve City input. Some of the footwork certification would require has already been accomplished, but not in relation to the actual certification process. That review is in process.

4- Illinois Valley Airport Industrial Park( 11 acres total)- These properties made the list due to the most need and open possibilities for smaller parcels at an Industrial Park in the County. While this project has stalled in recent years for many

S Revision June 30, 2011 r Josephine County Industrial Lands Report

reasons, this report suggests that the County could take aggressive action with attractive leases in an effort to attract businesses that might want to locate there. All utilities are in except natural gas. The one major impediment to development at this time is a fire suppression system that needs to be replaced or repaired at an estimated cost of 200,000, per the past Airport Director.

5- Spalding Industrial Park" Back 40" ( approx. 35 acres)- These three parcels add up to approximately 35 acres of excellent industrial opportunity, but lack established infrastructure of any kind. Most pressing is a sewer lift station, estimated at about $ 2.5 million. This property is recommended due to having the most flexible and open possibilities due to its size and location.

Current Project Status A meeting was held June 23rd with state, county, and city representatives, property owners, and other interested parties to decide which 2 properties will be undertaken for certification. Concurrence from all parties was made on the attached recommendations. The Rendata Project is already underway through Ausland Builders, and will be supported as the top choice for that reason. Spalding has also gathered some related info towards possible certification. SOREDI has prepared the checklists and backup information to support the certification process, and will assist with letters of support and other technical efforts.

Next Steps SOREDI will support all certification projects as directed by the principals, including backing up Ausland Builder's private efforts at the Rendata site. Assuming concurrence by the County and the private property owners at the recommended North Valley Industrial Park site, the certification process will begin there as soon as those approvals are gained. Spalding Industrial Park Manager Richard Ward will submit information he has already gathered to Business Oregon' s Lands Specialist Michael Williams to see how far those efforts might get the Spalding site in the process. If that site is determined to be ready to move towards certification, and the ownership decides to pursue it, this site will be added as a third project, and supported as needed.

Attachments A spreadsheet of details on each property, with a certification guide condensed from the state' s version. Maps of all 5 potential sites.

Greetings:

Thank you for being a part of the 2012 Southern Oregon Angel Conference.

This conference is not an Oregon Treasury event, but I am pleased to welcome you because all of us understand that business and job growth is vital to Oregon' s future. This is particularly true when it comes to innovation. From the statehouse to boardrooms to kitchen tables across Oregon, we are all looking and hoping for the next best thing. 4r The next best thing— whether it is a new product or a service or an improvement to something that already exists— will help create jobs and profits and stronger communities. Statistics tell us that young companies are doing more than half of the hiring these days.

qv That' s a key reason why entrepreneurship is such an important part of Oregon' s business landscape.

In Salem, we sponsored the Oregon Investment Act after listening and learning about the needs of businesses across the state. Government does have a role in economic development. We should continually ask and also measure to 111. ensure our public resources are being used well to cultivate and support not just today' s employers, but also the employers of tomorrow.

vrr For the second year, I am pleased that the Oregon Growth Account will provide a matching donation to help put the

qv winner of the Southern Oregon startup competition in a stronger financial position. The OGA has been one of Oregon' s effective tools for helping innovative companies, and our goal is to be a catalyst for opportunities across qv the state. Good ideas come from across Oregon, and the Southern Oregon conference will showcase several of them.

IMP Being an entrepreneur or an angel investor requires a certain degree of risk— and failure can be all- too- frequent. tar Organizations like the Southern Oregon Investment Network are helping to provide tools and assistance to increase the likelihood of business success in the Rogue Valley and beyond. That' s good for all of us. Not only will it help innovators with ideas now, but it can help to bolster a culture of entrepreneurship and venture capital investing in Oregon.

Startup capital is a scarce resource and it can be a powerful one. As the chairman of the OGA Board, I have been fir pleased to see the success stories that angel investments have helped to build, and also the high level of involvement of investors. I see this as an important partnership. Government can help catalyze economic development, but the qv private sector will still need to do the heavy lifting. qv Thanks again for your commitment to our shared economic future. Together, let' s keep innovating, and investing, and working hard to find Oregon' s next big thing.

Sincerely, Illr r 1lr

BIOGRAPHIES

11. Oregon State Treasurer Ted Wheeler

Since entering office as the 28th State Treasurer of Oregon, V Wheeler has directed several efforts to help make the State Treasury a more efficient operation, a more responsible investor and also more relevant to Oregonians. He was appointed by Gov. John Kitzhaber to help draft new economic development strategies for the state.

Wheeler has increased transparency of Treasury data, pushed for money- saving technology changes, strengthened investment travel rules and safeguards, authorized securities fraud lawsuits against firms that misled investors, and announced a revamped 529 college savings plan with lower costs and more options for families. He launched a new consumer financial protection web site, GuardYourMoney.org.

He is also committed to helping Oregon families become more financially secure, to be a careful steward of state debt, to make smart investments to benefit the state and public trust fund beneficiaries, and to advocate for reforms that will put the state on a more stable financial footing - which will improve Oregon's important credit rating.

One of three Oregon Constitutional officers, the Treasurer sits on several important corn- mittees including the State Land Board, which oversees economic activity on state-owned waterways and Common School Fund lands. He is a member of the Oregon Investment Council and chairman of the Oregon 529 College Savings Board.

Born in Portland and educated in Oregon, the Treasuer's family has deep Oregon roots. The town of Wheeler, located on Nehalem Bay on the Oregon coast, is named after his great- grandfather.

Before entering elected office, Wheeler worked in the financial services industry, and his career included posts at Bank of America and Copper Mountain Trust, where he was a senior manager. He was elected in 2006 as the chief executive of Multnomah County, where he oversaw a workforce of more than 4,400 and was responsible for reducing and balancing the budget and also cutting the county's debt. er iiir et

Eco Vision develops and manufactures its patented paper based packages that will displace the sea of plastic packaging that fills stores and landfills. Consumer goods packaging is a huge $424 Billion a year industry that affects everybody every day. Brand managers need our sustainable packaging because consumers need to feel good about the products they

err purchase. Our packaging delivers healthy, sustainable brand messaging.

rrr

Plastic consumer goods packaging is a serious and growing environmental problem. In turn, rr consumer goods brand owners suffer a severe marketing impediment caused by the plastic packaging they use because it contradicts the health and sustainable message that most err wish to convey. As a result, the call for "sustainable packaging" has become ubiquitous in the $180Bn a year consumer goods packaging industry.

r Eco Vision will help consumer goods brands replace their plastic packaging with our woo unique, patented, paper- based recyclable and home compostable packaging to gain valu- wo able marketing advantage. In Europe and the U.S., our first products will sell in the $36M lip

Alternair is an electric aircraft company. We are developing the Amp, an all- electric two-

seat light sport airplane. wr

The market for Alternair is the Light-Sport Aircraft industry. The Amp saves the operator qv up 80% on direct operating costs. In addition, the Amp is more competitive than any other qv electric airplane flying today. qv qv

mio At Alternair- we are passionate about electric airplane innovation!

Alternair LLC is an emerging aircraft company that is in the process of developing and manufacturing Alternair Amp, an electric Light Sport Airplane (LSA) for the sport pilot and vor private aviation market. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the US had qv 3, 248 certified sport pilots and 211, 619 certified private pilots in 2009, with as many as 20% rr of the general aviation pilots flying Light Sport Aircraft (LSA). Most recreational flying is limited to the use of light gliders and light sport aircraft with gas- powered engines. Gas-

powered aircraft are costly to maintain and operate.

to The direct operating costs for the Alternair Amp will not exceed $10 per hour. This is largely due to a drastic reduction in maintenance typically required in gasoline- powered engines of the equivalent size. This especially impacts flight training schools, as the rising operating costs of gasoline powered airplanes makes it less and less affordable for the majority of the people interested in learning how to fly. Given the breadth of the sport and private pilot to market and the high cost of owning and operating gas powered airplanes, the LSA industry

lir

Saving costs through ladder safety... r vrr Rogue Valley Innovations was expressly formed to assemble our new product, Ladder-Tite, gir patent pending, an extension ladder safety device for use by builders, roofers, installers and do- it-yourselfers. Ladder-Tite is a simple and inexpensive product that improves ladder sta-

bility for prevention of a ladder sliding or tipping back during use, thereby preventing costly and painful ladder related injuries.

Ladder Tite will be marketed to construction companies, building contractors, utility corn- y" panies and homeowners through trade shows, internet sales, and building supply retailers. Ladder Tite enhances the stability of extension ladders thereby reducing injuries, accidents, and emergency room visits related to ladders slipping from side to side or falling backward while an individual is using the ladder. We intend to offer "Ladder-Tite" through trade shows, internet sales, and building supply retailers.

1111' Ladder Tite is unique, there is currently no similar ladder securing device available. Start- up operations have been financed by investors. We have secured local and national providers to ensure product and packaging is cost effective and consumer friendly in appearance,

price and utility and we are prepared to make the needed adjustments to accommodate

INV increased sales. We have intellectual property (IP) that gives us an advantage over potential

competitors. Our IP includes the exclusive use of the patent rights through a corporate

directive with the inventor/ patent owner. Our marketing plan will allow us to grow the eP company steadily through a multifaceted approach. We have allowed for the addition of other products to the Rogue Valley Innovations name and web sales of local and distinct

products in the future. tir rr

thedot provides private calendar- based social networks for K- 12 schools. Educators use our

online lesson planner to create, organize and share standards- based lessons with students,

parents and administrators. thedot generates 72% of revenue through online advertising and

28% from school contracts. Advertisers will pay an average $ 6 CPM for our profile and age

segments. Our business model motivates teachers and schools to use our product.

Problem — Educators are not effectively communicating standard- based lessons with students, parents and administrators. 45 States will be required to implement the new national

standards and educators will be required to link daily assignments with these standards. Ad-

ministrators will use non- productive systems and processes to administer, manage, and re-

port standards- based instruction. Schools are facing higher demands with lower budgets and are forced to do more with less.

Solution —thedot calendar and lesson planner allows educators to organize and commu-

nicate daily assignments with students, parents and administrators. We have integrated the national standards into our lesson planner and our reporting engine tracks standards that educators address in their lesson planner. Administrators save time and money by using our live" reporting engine that identifies standards being addressed. Schools generate portions

of the ad revenue when they use our product.

Gregg Stephens GREGG STEPHENS DESIGN gstephensdesign @comcast. net r

For the past thirty years I have been creating kinetic light sculptures. My very first piece helped secure me a position as a Special Effects Designer with Walt Disney Imagineering. My passion in life became showing people light in ways they have never seen it before. have accomplished this in both my private and professional work, but the equipment I have developed to achieve this vision has always been complex and therefore inherently expensive. For years I have dreamed of discovering a simple combination of materials, which when assembled properly, create visual magic. I recently achieved that design criteria with a device I find very exciting. It holds potential to be the Lava Lamp of the new millennium.

r I now have a working prototype of this small device. It projects kinetic images of stunning composition and detail. The progressions of these images are completely fluid in their motion. The device is very articulate in its ability to aim the projections on a desired surface. The images are always in focus regardless of the projection distance. The farther the projection distance the larger the images, even to the point of covering an entire wall or ceiling.

I have a clear vision of a production design that would make the unit much higher in design elegance, style and simplicity. It would be sealed for safety and to avoid optical system contamination. It would be portable, cordless and charged via an inductively coupled base/ stand. The speed of the image progression would be user adjustable. rr

Ir Gregg Stephens gstephensdesign @comcast.net GS DESIGN Finally! Simple, attractive and inexpensive product design for the mounting and display of holiday greeting cards received in your personal home or office. rr I am an artist and special effects designer that finds unique and elegant solutions for existing needs. I care as much about form as function. Simple, intelligent designs are easy to produce locally and have the broadest market appeal. rIr I am a sole proprietor looking to join forces with an infrastructure to locally finance, pro- le duce and distribute this product

The several envisioned designs have the ability to provide an effective and attractive method in whatever space a customer chooses. All designs collaspe for easy initial packag- er ing, shipping and storage. IP

VIP Product/ Services: I have several preliminary design ideas for inexpensive products that will allow holiday greeting cards to be mounted and displayed. Two are decorative wall or door iso mounted versions, one of which is adjstable in

VP both length and width to best fit the chosen space. The other is free standing and like one of the wall mount versions, allows for quick and easy removal and reinsertion of the cards Iw for viewing.

While the SpotMedia platform can benefit all forms of media distribution, we have chosen the radio industry as

an in transition - one that offers the greatest tap our starting point because radio is industry reward for the least investment. VP

V' The radio industry is in desperate need of new ways to increase revenue and cut costs. rr Over the past five years radio station revenue has declined 18% to $14. 6 Billion, and syndica-

tion revenue dropped 14% to $1. 1 Billion (2011). At the same time, production and distribu- r, tion costs have continued to rise.

The SpotMedia business model is designed to quickly build a client base and traffic volume with an offering that generates gross margins of 30- 40%, while cutting customers' distribution expense by more than 30%. Revenue will be generated through a combination of fees for service and a share of the revenue generated from advertising, subscriptions, and vs, e- commerce income derived from distributing our clients' programming.

Robert Lount mir y STAMPER INDUSTRIES err Stamper Industries' mission is to promote and produce Bio- oil and Bio- char while employ- inging and contracting with other small to medium sized rural businesses for support services. Bio products from woody debris and thinning could be an integral part in making up for the loss of timber jobs sustained in many local communities. le No current versions of mobile gasifier designs are capable of doing the job. All of the current designs aside from the` saw-grass' categories( micro-gasifiers) do not meet the truly mobile criteria. My experience in both forestry and technology fields will make our mobile design a practical, utilitarian piece of equipment and then move forward with scalable production.

Rural Oregon communities have been devastated by both the loss of Federal timber revenue and by the catastrophic wildfires that ravage areas in part due to fuel buildup after decades of fire suppression. Thinning for fire suppression has not yet been financially viable. At this time it makes sense not to burn slash piles, but to make fuel reduction thinning pay. Gasification is one answer to the Rural Renewal that needs to happen in Oregon. vow Starting with one mobile reactor, employing both crew and working with local contractors and suppliers, the business could scale easily into millions of dollars of annual revenue for V"` Rural Oregon communities. One mobile reactor translates into 45 truck loads of Bio- oil being contract transported to Portland annually, hundreds of truck loads of Bio- char being vrr hauled locally, over$ 100,000 in wages and thousands of dollars in tax revenue.

Southern Oregon Regional Economic Development Inc. is our region's hub of job growth activities. We are a nonprofit organization whose membership includes more than 100

r110, private businesses, public utilities, city, county and state governments working together to help businesses grow in Jackson and Josephine Counties. Organizing and hosting the South- ern Oregon Angel Investment Network is one way we support our region's entrepreneurs. Healthy, growing, local businesses diversify our economy and create good jobs for the

citizens of our region.

In addition to supporting local start-ups, we provide support for established businesses in our region and we actively recruit operations from out of the area. Due to the support of our membership, we are able to serve as project managers for companies, provide assistance with local site selection, workforce fulfillment, utility requirements, financing and economic incentives, at no cost to the company. Our business development managers act as liaison between private and public sectors to facilitate solutions to specific needs of businesses. Our$ 6.3 million revolving loan fund is available to assist businesses in cases where gap funding is needed to expand, relocate, add or retain jobs. Further, we manage our region's Enterprise Zones, eas- ing specific tax burdens for qualifying businesses.

Membership in SOREDI is an investment in your business and a powerful networking tool that connects you to a wealth of business mentors and resources. It is also an investment in the economic health and stability of our region. Your participation allows us to continue the work that provides a diversified base for our local economy.Jackson and Josephine Counties have a surprising array of traded- sector companies that bring dollars to our region from all over the world. Many of these began as entrepreneurial start-ups, much like the contestants on this stage today. These dollars, that are brought into our region for goods

that are manufactured and shipped out, provide the basis for most of the dollars that cir- r culate in the retail and service sectors of our two-county region. While these traded sector companies are often less visible, they are nonetheless vital to our economy and are doing some fascinating business behind the scenes.

Please join us for upcoming Industry Tours of some of these companies and for upcoming

Jefferson Grapevine Events where we foster the growth of our entrepreneurial community. 4141t1* or
