"Both Putnam County and West Virginia should be proud and pleased," according to Gary Walton, Executive Director of the Putnam County Development Authority, because of this national coverage provided to the county's Toyota plant at Buffalo. "You certainly can't buy front page coverage in national magazines," Walton continued, but "the entire article seems to support Toyota's reasons for locating a new facility in Putnam County and that's good news for our efforts at industrial expansion and recruitment," he concluded.

Walton updated the PCDA's main Internet web page this morning to include links to Site Selection's web pages allowing visitors to read the complete article.
