"The City of Danville's existing industries have a tremendous impact on our economy--improving our quality of life and increasing future opportunities with new technologies and better jobs," Danville City Manager Jerry Gwaltney says. "This announcement is a tremendous win for the City of Danville that highlights the positive business climate in our community."

Virginia Economic Development Partnership spokesperson Jill Lawrence explains to GlobeSt.com that the plant upgrade will make more room but "involves no new square footage; they're simply renovating and adding jobs and investments."
