We were happy to host Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick today here in Wythe County. After a breakfast meeting with local leaders, we adjourned to Progress Park Lot 24 to visit the Blue Star NBR construction site. In these photos, Secretary Merrick along with Virginia Economic Development Partnership CEO Jason El Koubi are briefed by Blue Star leadership on the project’s progress and why they chose Wythe County VA and Virginia for this significant investment. Additional photos show Blue Star NBR CEO Scott Maier describing the site plan for the facility and a view to the northeast on Lot 24 in Progress Park. Click for descriptive detail.
