which can be achieved through human deep learning. Mastering means the ability
to perform complex tasks automatically.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">A common belief, based on early brain research, is that to master
something you need to practice for more than 10,000 hours.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Actually, scientific research by Nobel Prize-winner Herbert Simon

closing techniques is not really optional, as otherwise my actual work with
sales strategy, volumes, and credibility cannot materialize the outcomes
needed.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">To reduce the resources needed to train the salespeople of my
clients, I funded the research and construction of an online school based on
scientific research on the brain and human deep learning by Nobel Prize-winner Herbert
Simon and combined it with the Finnish curricular approach when it was the best
in the world at PISA results.</span></p><p>

the past six years, so the atmosphere in our school is both fun and relaxed,
conducive to achieving excellent results. This approach is preferable to
putting students under intense pressure or encouraging them to burn the
midnight oil, which can be counterproductive. Nobel Prize winner Herbert

a primary reason why this book is published in PDF format.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Grouping sales closing techniques into categories wouldn't have

I recommend checking.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Given that this book is intended for a global audience and
encompasses every industry, legality can vary greatly around the globe. It
wouldn't be appropriate for me to pass judgement on diverse cultures and
customs, some of which date back thousands of years. My own family history only
extends a little over 2,000 years, which is quite recent when compared for

first, as does a skilled marketer or salesperson.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">You can read more from this paper: </span><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.12712"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with

sales – unless you are OK with average results. I firmly believe that the
difference between average and great, in both marketing and sales, can result
in a twentyfold increase or more. This is exactly what the late Steve Jobs
believed as well, and he extended this belief to include IT coders.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Do not get me wrong – ChatGPT is very awesome if it is used within
its limitations, and my hat is off for the team behind. In the matter of fact,
without ChatGPT this book would only be ready to be published many years later.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I am a native Finnish speaker. Finnish is considered one of the
most challenging languages to learn, and the second most challenging of the
more than six thousand languages spoken in the World today. For example, its
grammar is notoriously complex, and many of its words lack direct English
equivalents.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Finnish is also a highly synthetic language, which means words can
be constructed by juxtaposing inflected verbs, nouns, and adjectives according
to their roles in a sentence. Moreover, prepositions often manifest as suffixes
attached to nouns, and other particles can be added to express nuances. This
flexibility results in over 200 possible verb endings for each verb in the
Finnish language.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">No wonder
J.R.R. Tolkien used the Finnish language as a basis for the language of the Elves in his 'Lord of the Rings' book.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">So, translating 15,064 sales closing techniques from other
languages into Finnish over 10 years and then back into English for this book
and proofreading the translations without losing the original meaning was an
enormous task. Moreover, ensuring a coherent style so that salespeople could
easily compare different sales closing techniques and understand their
differences was time-consuming and required a lot of work from translators and
copywriters, with a lot of frustration and frequent personnel changes.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Perhaps my level of demand was high but having a (too) extensive
knowledge of sales and having researched the linguistic philosopher Ludwig
Wittgenstein since 1988, I understand how small nuances can make a significant
difference to salespeople's true understanding of each sales closing technique.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">ChatGPT made it possible to publish this book now instead of 3 or
4 years later. This was possible because I could define the writing style and
the objectives for each sentence; definition, why this works and key phrases. However,
it took more than seven months to go through the existing written material,
during which time the book had to be rewritten several times. This is because
ChatGPT, though a computer program, can sometimes display traits of a
capricious artificial intelligence.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">There were days when ChatGPT seemed to reject instructions that
had perfectly worked the day before and would work again the day after. On
those days, I had to employ various psychological tactics to get it back on
track - and I know how ludicrous it sounds, but there was no other way to get
it to do what I wanted.<span style="color: #00b050;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The text
generated by ChatGPT still needs to be edited before publication, but this task is made easier because all the text is written in the same, desired tone
and logic.</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">If I were to write something that didn't require such a rigid
format and style, repeated over 15,064 times, I wouldn't have used ChatGPT.
After all, I have a genuine love for writing.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Why is this a free book?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I invested a significant amount of money, time, and other
resources over a period of 10 years to collect, translate, edit, and compile
the largest collection of sales closing techniques in the history of mankind.
This collection will greatly benefit salespeople who master these techniques
and naturally their organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Calibri Light",sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">With my marketing power, I could have sold this book to companies

instead of doing so, I am giving this book out for free to anyone interested.
This is part of my charity's mission to boost economic activity and create more

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>My name is Christian Dillstrom and I have been a global business influencer for the last few years. From time to time I am asked – <i>what does a business influencer do? What can a business influencer do for our business?</i></b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>What makes a business influencer?</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">For me a business influencer is a person who can influence the decision-making process of a wanted target company. He does not make the decisions – he influences the decision makers so that they can reach the desired decision.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Marketing and salespeople distribute information important for them, but they can only hope that the wanted decision maker will read it.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">A business influencer either has a relationship with a wanted decision maker or he will form one to make sure that information important for his client is consumed by the wanted decision maker and introduced to the client.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Are there different kinds of business influencing?</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Absolutely. Some decision makers can be influenced remotely, while others require one or more personal meetings. It all depends on the client and the offering. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">If the client is known and the offering is easy to understand and accept, and the proposed deal is relatively small in value, remote influencing will be enough.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">The further away the situation is from the description in the previous paragraph, the more personal the business influencing must be. At the same time, so are the rewards of business influencing for the client.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>What kind of industries can benefit from the services of a business influencer?</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Any industry where the dream client’s decision maker makes sizable purchases. There is no point in utilizing a business influencer for low value, single purchases.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Small value, single purchase influencing is what consumer influencers like Kardashiands do – they only do it for tens of thousands of consumers at a time to achieve high overall sales.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>What size of business can benefit from the services of a business influencer?</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">The size of the business does not matter – in fact, startups and small businesses should use business influencers as they could speed up their growth very quickly. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">For example, I receive 10-20 calls a day from startups and small businesses needing my business influencer services.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Does a business influencer just create relationships with decision makers?</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">There are of course many approaches to business influencing, but for example, my approach starts with defining the client’s offering, selecting the dream clients for the offering, and making sure that messaging conveys the offering properly to those selected dream clients. </span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">An initial consultation is always a part of my services as I want to be certain that my client will close the deal and my own reputation will remain intact. If a decision maker I have connected with does not make a deal with a client I have personally endorsed, I will also be branded a failure.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Is business influencing a new thing?</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">It is not. Business influencing is an old trade that most businesspeople have forgotten.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Nowadays businesses put their efforts into creating nice marketing and sales materials and blasting those to anyone who could buy their offering.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">They do not put as much effort into making sure that their offering is endorsed so that the correct decision makers will properly consume it. Building a trustful relationship is the key to a high sales conversion on sizable deals.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Can anyone become a business influencer?</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Yes, as you only must be able to influence business decision makers. There are many ways to reach that position. For example, I myself achieved my business influencing effectiveness via blogging. Since the beginning of 2015, tens of millions of businesspeople around the world have been reading my texts about growth hacking and business every month.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">That built name recognition for me and associated my name with methods of increasing the sales of businesses. As a result, very few business decision makers today will not respond to my messages and requests to have a phone call or a meeting with me.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Is it expensive to use a business influencer?</b></span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Business influencers are the fastest way to increase the sales of businesses on a large scale. That itself explains that business influencers will bring in much more sales than their services cost.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Some business influencers will charge for their services on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Some will charge a fixed fee per project.</span><br />
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">There is also a group of business influencers that will charge a commission for sales and costs that have occurred. I do both time- and commission-based deals.</span>Christian Dillstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09443466337423880550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368226204682803156.post-47337519669558013562019-12-23T21:50:00.002+00:002019-12-23T21:50:46.601+00:00Free Influencer Marketing Campaign for Charities<br />

</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">To
put it plainly, quite a massive endorsed and free visibility among
quite well off business professionals and other people as well as
among businesses and other organizations.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">For
example, if a charity has 50,000 donors, and 25,000 of them would
participate in a campaign, the charity can expect 31 million people
to see their advert being endorsed in social media. Best of all, that
visibility can be repeated monthly.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">The
above estimate is based on a calculation that each participating
donor receives on average likes or comments from 50 people they know,
and their endorsements will bring an average of 25 people to watch
the video.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">Needless
to say, having an advert in this environment is very positive and
effective for any charity.</span></span></div>

</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">The
charity can also use the posted videos to present its real donors and
show how their donors are respected by their peers. That and the
respect shown to their current donors will drive the new donor
numbers up.</span></span></div>

</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">

</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">Donors
could already make the introduction videos of themselves, but they

results via their own employees.</span></span></div>

</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">By

</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">It
is noteworthy that, as I can show the gain from this partnership, my

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">The
more you post in social media, the less visibility your posts will
receive, as social media algorithms will spread more widely content
from people who post things less frequently. Therefore, posting
through charity’s donors - who are posting quite rarely – you
will receive a much greater visibility.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">Not
to mention that posting thousands of videos every month to social
media platforms would also be quite difficult to manage logistically
or at least require a considerable team to get it done.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="en-US">In
addition, only the videos posted on the donor’s personal social
media account can attract their networks, co-workers and friends to
comment on and like the posted video. Without them endorsing the
video and causing it to spread across their networks, a video is just
a video without any meaningful marketing power.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My name is Christian Dillstrom and I am the global business influencer and the most read business article author in the World for the fifth year running.<br /><br />I am offering a free joint influencer marketing campaign to spread awareness about a recruitment agency and me to people and businesses of the agency’s country.<br /><br /><b><br />THE CAMPAIGN</b><br />The campaign will empower present and past applicants of the recruitment agency through my “The TOP Person” initiative. Each willing applicant will be taught how to publish an influencer endorsed introduction video about him in social media for free. Each posted video will include a 10 second advert of the recruitment agency.<br /><br />Participating applicants will also invite their network, co-workers and friends to comment and like the posted video to gain as much peer credibility as possible. That multiplies the visibility of each video by hundreds or thousands as each comment and like the video gets will spread it into other networks. I shall teach the applicants the importance of peer credibility in my free webinars.<br /><br />This is not a one-off campaign as each applicant who creates a video can do update videos at any time. In addition, the recruitment agency can encourage the applicants to do so with a monthly email message.<br /><br /><br /><b>WHAT WILL I DO?</b><br />I shall provide my endorsement, branded video clips and a link to the needed free video compiling mobile application. <br /><br />In addition, I shall host free webinars to teach applicants why and how to create an introduction video and how to use it to become influencers of their own lives.<br /><br /><br /><b>WHAT WILL THE RECRUITMENT AGENCY NEED TO DO?</b><br />The recruitment agency needs to deliver me an advert as a still image or as a maximum 10-second video.<br /><br />The agency will also inform its current and former applicants about the opportunity.<br /><br /><br /><b>WHAT WILL THE PARTICIPATING APPLICANT NEED TO DO?</b><br />The applicant will need to listen to my webinar, download my instructions and branded videoclips – all that free of charge, of course. He will also need to install a free application on his mobile phone.<br /><br />Then he will need to shoot his introduction video, use the mobile application to compile it and upload his video to social media.<br /><br />Finally, he will ask his network, co-workers and friends to comment and endorse his published video.<br /><br /><br /><b>WHAT IS MY GAIN?</b><br />With this campaign I shall demonstrate businesses and other organizations of the recruitment agency’s country how to quickly and effectively gain credible, authentic and endorsed visibility in social media through their employees.<br /><br />By demonstrating the power of influencer marketing to businesses and other organizations, I can change the narrative from the current “What it is” to “What is it that we can achieve with it”.<br /><br />I will only charge the companies and other organizations a modest monthly service fee as influencer endorsed introduction videos is just a very basic influencer service I offer.<br /><br />As I partner up with recruitment agencies, this campaign is free for them. After all, I only need to partner up with one recruitment agency per country, and there are over 40,000 of them in the UK alone.<br /><br /><br /><b>WHAT IS THE GAIN FOR THE RECRUITMENT AGENCY?</b><br />To put it plainly, quite a massive endorsed and free visibility among business professionals.<br /><br />For example, if a recruitment agency has 10,000 current and former applicants in its database, and 4,000 of them would participate in a campaign, the agency can expect 5 million people to see their advert being endorsed in social media. Best of all, that visibility can be repeated monthly.<br /><br />The above estimate is based on the calculation that each participating applicant receives on average likes or comments from 50 people they know, and their endorsements will bring an average of 25 people to watch the video.<br /><br />Needless to say, having an advert in this environment is very positive and effective for any brand.<br /><br />The recruitment agency can also use the posted video to present the real applicant and show their clients how he is respected by his peers.<br /><br /><br /><b>WHAT IS THE GAIN FOR AN APPLICANT?</b> <br />Every one of us wants to look appealing in the eyes of our current bosses, clients, co-workers, friends and other people. You want to look even better in the eyes of decision makers if you are unemployed and you are looking for your next opportunity.<br /><br />Also, even our companies love employees that look respected by their peers on social media.<br />Applicants could already make the introduction videos, but they are rarely made as they usually do not receive many endorsements from their peers without the endorsement of the influencer.<br /><br />I shall teach each applicant in my free webinars how to become an influencer of their own life by using their influencer- and peer endorsed introduction video. <br /><br /><br /><b>WHY WOULD A RECRUITMENT AGENCY NOT JUST POST THE VIDEOS BY THEMSELVES?</b><br />The more you post in social media, the less visibility your posts will receive, as social media algorithms will spread more widely content from people who post things less frequently. Therefore, posting through recruitment agency’s present and past applicants - who are posting quite rarely - will receive a much greater visibility.<br /><br />Not to mention that posting thousands of videos every month to social media platforms would also be quite difficult to manage logistically or at least require a considerable team to get it done.<br /><br />In addition, only the videos posted on the applicant’s personal social media account can attract their networks, co-workers and friends to comment on and like the posted video. Without them endorsing the video and causing it to spread across their networks, a video is just a video without any meaningful marketing power.<br /><br />Finally, very few applicants would be ready to have an advert of the recruitment agency in their introduction video if they would not receive an endorsement from the influencer in exchange.<br /><br /><br /><b>DO I GAIN ACCESS TO THE DATABASE OF CURRENT AND FORMER APPLICANTS OF THE RECRUITMENT AGENCY?</b><br />No, I do not.

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kampanja
on suunnattu rekrytointiyrityksen vanhojen ja nykyisten hakijoiden
voimaannuttamiseksi ”The TOP Person”- kampanjan kautta.
Jokaiselle halukkaalle hakijalle opetetaan kuinka julkaista ilmainen,
vaikuttajan suosittelema esittelyvideo itsestään sosiaalisessa
mediassa. Jokaiseen julkaistuun videoon lisätään
rekrytointiyrityksen oma, kymmenen sekunnin mainos. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kampanjaan
osallistuvat hakijat kutsuvat myös oman verkostonsa, työkaverit
sekä ystävät kommentoimaan ja tykkäämään videosta, jotta se
saisi mahdollisimman paljon vertaisuskottavuutta. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Näin
jokaisen videon näkyvyys moninkertaistuu tykkäysten ja kommenttien
levittäessä videota muihin verkostoihin. Ilmaisessa webinaarissa
opetan hakijoille vertaisuskottavuuden tärkeyden. </span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">

</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kampanja
ei ole kertaluontoinen, vaan jokainen videon tehnyt hakija voi tehdä
myöhemmin uusia videoita, joilla päivittää kuulumisiaan. Lisäksi
rekrytointiyritys voi myös rohkaista hakijoita päivitysvideoiden
tekemiseen kuukausittaisella sähköpostilla.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kampanjalla
demonstroin suomalaisille yrityksille ja organisaatioille, kuinka

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Laskutan
yrityksiltä ja muilta organisaatioilta ainoastaan pienen

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Muodostan
rekrytointiyritysten kanssa kumppanuuksia, joten heille kampanja on

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lyhyesti
sanoen, yritys saa huomattavaa ilmaista näkyvyyttä businessihmisten

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jos
rekrytointiyrityksellä on esimerkiksi 5,000 nykyistä ja vanhaa
hakijaa tietokannassaan, ja 2,000 heistä osallistuu kampanjaan,
rekrytointiyritys voi odottaa jopa 2,5 miljoonan ihmisen näkevän
suositellun mainoksen sosiaalisessa mediassa. Parasta tässä on,
että näkyvyys voidaan toistaa joka kuukausi.</span></div>

kerää keskimäärin 50 tykkäystä tai kommenttia kontakteiltaan ja
heidän suosituksensa tuovat keskimäärin 25 lisäihmistä katsomaan

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

</span><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mitä
enemmän julkaiset sisältöä sosiaalisessa mediassa, sitä vähemmän
näkyvyyttä julkaisusi saavat, sillä sosiaalisen median algoritmit
levittävät laajemmin sisältöä, jota harvoin julkaisuja tekevät
käyttäjät tuottavat. Siksi julkaiseminen rekrytointiyrityksen
entisten ja nykyisten hakijoiden kautta – jotka yleensä
julkaisevat melko harvoin – saavuttaa huomattavasti enemmän
näkyvyyttä. </span>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Puhumattakaan
siitä, kuinka työlästä tuhansien videoiden kuukausittainen

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lisäksi
ainoastaan hakijan omalla henkilökohtaisella tilillään julkaisemat
videot saavuttavat hänen oman verkostonsa, työkaverit ja ystävät
kommentoimaan ja tykkäämään julkaisusta. Ilman heitä
suosittelujaan video ei leviä heidän verkostoihinsa, jolloin
videolle ei muodostu merkittävää markkinointivoimaa.</span></div>

distressed communities nationwide.</time></span></span></span><div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The U.S. Treasury
Department has designated 8,764 opportunity zones (known as Qualified
Opportunity Zones, or QOZs) in all 50 states, the District of Columbia
and five U.S. territories.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nearly 35 million Americans live in areas
designated as Opportunity Zones. These communities present both the need
for investment and significant investment opportunities.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Based
on data from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey, the designated
regions had an average poverty rate of over 32 percent, compared with
the 17 percent national average.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Additionally, the median family income
of the designated tracts were on average 37 percent below the area or
state median, and had an unemployment rate of nearly 1.6 times higher
than the national average.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We anticipate that $100
billion in private capital will be dedicated towards creating jobs and
economic development in Opportunity Zones,” said U.S. Treasury Secretary
Steven T. Mnuchin.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“This incentive will foster economic revitalization
and promote sustainable economic growth, which was a major goal of the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Treasury Dept. issued its
first set of IRS regulations last October, clarifying which gains
qualify for deferral, which taxpayers and investments are eligible, the
parameters for Opportunity Funds and other guidance; a second traunch of
IRS rules for QOZs was issued in April.<em></em></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
Opportunity Zone incentive offers capital gains tax relief to investors
for new investment in designated areas.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Investment benefits include
deferral of tax on prior gains as late as 2026 if the amount of the gain
is invested in an Opportunity Fund (QOF). The benefits also include tax
forgiveness on gains on that investment if the investor holds the
investment for at least 10 years. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Opportunity Zones retain their
designation for 10 years, but under the proposed regulations, investors
can hold onto their investments in Qualified Opportunity Funds through
2047 without losing tax benefits.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Treasury’s QOZ
designations were based on nominations of eligible census tracts by the
state governors. Each state nominated the maximum number of eligible
tracts, per statute, and these designations are final.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The statute and
legislative history of the Opportunity Zone designations, under IRC §
1400Z, do not contemplate an opportunity for additional or revised
designations after the maximum number of zones allowable have been
designated in a state or territory.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Based on IRC
1400Z-1, designations are based upon the boundaries of the tract at the
time of the designation in 2018, and do not change over the period of
the designation, even if the boundaries of an individual census tract
are redefined in future Census releases.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to a
report from Real Capital Analytics, there is more than $6 trillion in
unrealized capital gains eligible to be deployed into QOZs.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Several
states have enacted enhanced tax credits to amplify the impact of the
federal QOZ program.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For example, legislation recently introduced in the
Michigan State Senate would create a tax credit for qualified research
and development expenses related to the automotive industry in QOZs.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">S.B. 378 would allow a credit for a percentage of the difference between
the taxpayer’s R&D expenses in a QOZ and expenses in a QOZ during
the three-year base period, with a formula to determine the credit if
the taxpayer didn’t incur qualified R&D expenses in the base period.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">TOPEKA, KS HAS THREE OPPORTUNITY ZONES</span></span></h4>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
wonder of OZ can be found in Kansas when stepping into Topeka.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With
growing vibrancy and a palpable energy toward progress, a trip to Topeka
is a trip to an emerald world of endless investment possibilities,
thanks, in part, to the three new opportunity zones established here.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While
other rural counties and particularly blighted city areas were also
granted opportunity zones, Topeka’s are situated in a dynamic core of
resurgence.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From the residential-commercial downtown to the riverfront
green space to the growing NOTO arts district and the well-established
industrial district, Topeka’s dynamic core is steadily becoming a huge
asset to Topeka.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This variety and rejuvenation isn’t seen in other
opportunity zones.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Topeka’s downtown is a mixed-use
development of commercial, retail and residential.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the last few
years, it has seen tremendous growth with the additions of new
restaurants, breweries, shops and a boutique hotel. There will also be a
plaza opening in the spring that gives new space for concerts and
events, while also adding to the beauty and livability of the area.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These advances have helped the downtown hit a stride as one of the best
spots in Topeka not only to live, but also to invest. Similar growth is
happening in NOTO and the riverfront.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Local boutiques, restaurants and
arts centers are reshaping the area and turning NOTO into a hub for
artistic-minded individuals. In addition, parks and green spaces are
beginning to pop up throughout the area, helping bring even more people
to NOTO.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These areas may be going through a resurgence,
but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still capable of massive growth.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to a recent study by Development Strategies, just within its
dynamic core, Topeka can support 690,000 more square feet of retail,
300,000 more square feet of new or rehabbed office space, 900 new or
rehabbed housing units and 200 new hotel rooms.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The city has a market
and a need for business and Topeka is invested in bringing it here.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There
is a reason why corporations, including Frito-Lay, Mars Chocolate,
Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Home Depot, Target and many more have chosen
Topeka as their home. The city is situated in the middle of the U.S.
with an infrastructure built for business.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Moreover, Topeka’s three
opportunity zones are all situated within a few minutes of interstate
highways and class I rail systems.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Within one day, goods shipped by
truck reach 25 percent of the U.S. population and 90 percent by day two.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The cost of living in Topeka is 7.4 percent lower than the U.S. average
and the cost of business is 15 percent less than the average as of
2018.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Topeka has the workforce to support growing
companies.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Within 60 miles of Topeka, there are three universities—the
University of Kansas, Kansas State University and Washburn University,
along with a technical school, Washburn Institute of
Technology—producing over 13,500 highly educated students graduating
annually.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Washburn Tech also works closely with businesses and
industries in Topeka and Shawnee County to ensure that students are
learning practical skills that lead to great jobs available in the
community.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If having the culture, people, business assets and
infrastructure isn’t enough, stack on the aggressive local incentives.
Topeka offers cash grants for jobs, investments and training.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Topeka
is special because its opportunity zones are just that: opportunities.
The city has a dynamic core that is growing, but ready to take on
further investment.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is a need for business and a market to support

market capability, aggressive incentives and growing workforce makes it
easy to call the land of OZ “home.”</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Middletown
has a dedicated partner located downtown, the Middlesex County Chamber
of Commerce and its 2,500+ members. It is by far the largest Chamber in
Connecticut and the 2nd largest in New England.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The City and Chamber are

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Middletown
invites you to look into its Opportunity Zone, which is strategically
placed in the center of its historic downtown. The City owns a

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The City site currently is a
parking lot for both City employees and the public. It is a short walk
(500 feet) to the heart of Main Street. An automobile business, which is
constrained by its site, owns the private property.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
three lots total approximately 3.3 acres. City staff will arrange all

your Opportunity Zone project.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This site is in the
City’s B1 Downtown Zone which allows, by right, the traditional downtown
uses, including retail, residential, entertainment and office. The
regulation allows mixed use. The B1 Zone is its most broadly-based zone.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Plus, the Connecticut Department of Transportation has a
plan to connect this site to the City’s Harbor Park via a walking
bridge over Connecticut Route 9. It will connect to an existing City
walkway to Main Street. So the site will be connected to both Main
Street and Harbor Park.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The City has completed the

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Center for the Study of Economic Liberty at Arizona State University has just released the <em>Doing Business North America</em>
report, a first-of-its kind report that provides objective measures of
business regulations across 115 cities in 92 states, provinces and
districts in the United States, Canada and Mexico.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The report uses these
measures to score and rank cities in regard to how easy or difficult it
is to set up, operate and shut down a business.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Modeled upon the World Bank’s <em>Doing Business</em> report, the <em>Doing Business North America</em>
report measures the regulations that apply to domestic small- and
medium-sized companies throughout their lifecycle.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The report complies
and analyses city-specific data, offering a comprehensive look at a
particular jurisdiction’s business environment, including regulations
having to do with starting a business, employing workers, acquiring
electricity, paying taxes, registering property and resolving
insolvency.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By comparing business environments across
North America, the report offers measurable benchmarks for reform that
encourage states and provinces to pursue regulatory frameworks that ease
the cost of doing business.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The <em>Doing Business North America</em>
report offers local jurisdictions objective data on how policies,
regulations and licensing requirements affect businesses in their
community,” said Steve Slivinski, senior research fellow and project
director of the <em>Doing Business North America</em> report at the
Center for the Study of Economic Liberty.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“This is a powerful tool that
can be used by public officials to inform and guide policy,” said
Slivinski. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We expect that many jurisdictions will be interested in how
they rank compared to their neighbors or peers.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <em>Doing Business North America</em>
research team was led by Slivinski, with support from undergraduate
students from the W. P. Carey School of Business, The College, School of
Sustainability, School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious
Studies, and School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Additional support was provided by Caminos de la Libertad, an
educational foundation based in Mexico City.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“<em>Doing Business North America</em>
is predicated on the idea that a well-functioning economy requires good
rules,” said Ross Emmett, director, Center for the Study of Economic
Liberty.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The ease of doing business in a location is higher when the
rules are clear and the steps involved are few. A study like this is
useful for policy research in both the academic and the policy-maker
communities.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The report findings include:</span></span></div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oklahoma City accumulated the highest Ease of Doing Business Score.</span></span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Canadian cities of Winnipeg, Halifax, and Moncton
lead the “Starting a Business” category, which measures the number of
legal procedures required to start a business and the costs associated
with those procedures.</span></span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the category of “Employing Workers,” which includes mandates like minimum wages and required paid leave, Arlington, VA takes the top spot.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“What
makes this project so exciting is that it clears the way for immediate
action and outcomes in our communities,” said Amy Hillman, dean, W. P.
Carey School of Business, Arizona State University.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Small and
medium-sized firms account for the majority of businesses in the United
States; their success is critical to our economy.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“</span></span>This report equips
local governments with data that shows how they are either helping or
hindering those businesses, from a regulatory perspective.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Mayor Beasley and his team have

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Parsons
Corporation, a leading cyber security technology provider, is expanding
its operations at the Georgia Cyber Center in Augusta, GA by adding
more than 80 new jobs.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Parsons is a disruptive technology provider for
the future of global defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure,
with capabilities across cyber security, missile defense, space,
connected infrastructure, and smart cities.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Parsons
has long been part of the regional community and we are thrilled to
continue our growth in support of the U.S. Army cyber mission,” said
Chuck Harrington, president and CEO of Parsons Corporation.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Our leading capabilities help the nation’s warfighter operate at the

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The $100 million Georgia Cyber Center
is the single largest investment in a cyber security facility by a
state government to date.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The center is a unique public/private

<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With two adjacent
buildings totaling 332,000 square feet, the Georgia Cyber Center is
located on the Nathan Deal Campus for Innovation and is designed to meet
the growing need for cyber security talent in Georgia, the nation and
across the globe.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In August 2019, Governor Brian P.
Kemp announced Parsons’ initial decision to locate and create 26 new
jobs at the Cyber Center.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This most recent expansion is the result of
Parsons’ growing cyber business as U.S. Army Cyber Command at Fort
Gordon continues to promote the growth of the industry in Augusta.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“This expansion showcases the Cyber Center’s tremendous impact on the
cyber industry in our state and the CSRA. These additional, high-quality
jobs will only add to Georgia’s resume as a national leader in the
cyber industry and a key national security asset.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For
decades, Parsons has worked behind the scenes delivering cyber security

Augusta is excited for the further investment by Parsons in the Georgia
Cyber Center and our community,” said Steven Kendrick, chairman of the
Development Authority of Augusta.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“These are the jobs that we have been

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected 26 organizations to receive a total of $5.1 million in grants
for environmental job training programs across the country.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Funded
through the agency’s Environmental Workforce Development and Job
Training Program, these grants help to create a skilled workforce in
communities where EPA brownfields assessment and cleanup activities are
taking place.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of
the programs selected for funding this year, 31% plan to serve
residents of communities experiencing persistent poverty and nearly 70%
plan to serve veterans.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All 26 selected programs plan to serve
communities with census tracts designated as federal Opportunity Zones
– an economically-distressed community where new investments, under
certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“EPA’s
Job Training Program has helped to transform communities that need it
the most. By investing in a local workforce to conduct environmental
cleanup activities, we can help revitalize traditionally low-income
neighborhoods,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Seventy five
percent of those trained under our program have gone on to find full
time jobs with good wages. I am proud to announce that EPA is building
on these successes by providing additional grants to help lift
communities out of poverty, employ returning veterans, and build a
skilled environmental workforce for the future.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since
the program began in 1998, more than 288 grants have been awarded. More
than 18,000 individuals have completed training, and of those, more than
13,679 individuals have been placed in full-time employment earning an
average starting wage of over $14 an hour.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rather than filling local
jobs with contractors from distant cities, EPA created its environmental
job training program to offer residents of communities historically
affected by environmental pollution, economic disinvestment, and brownfields an opportunity to gain the skills and certifications needed to secure local environmental work in their communities.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite a trade war with China that’s
clobbering U.S. farmers, locations that have established strong
agribusiness and food processing sectors continue to thrive as
production moves closer to markets.</span></span></h2>

<div class="td-module-meta-info">
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">According
to U.S. Department of Agriculture Chief Economist Robert C. Johansson,
“Our general expectation is for continued declines in real agricultural
commodity prices over the next 10 years. Falling commodity prices are
the result of continued production growth, which continues to outpace
global demand.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With respect to soybeans, Dr. Johansson
pointed out that, “while U.S. soybean prices have been slightly buoyed
amid some signs of progress in negotiations, the export outlook for this
year’s crop (2018/19) remains challenging.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Currently, the U.S. has
exported 24 million metric tons of soybean, down 13.5 million metric
tons from this time last year. Under the trade dispute, exports to China
alone have plummeted by 22 million metric tons, or over 90 percent.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
record high [soybean] stocks in the U.S. due to the trade situation
will take several years to unwind, which will weigh on U.S. prices going
forward even with potential China purchase agreements.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Current
estimates show that prices for soybeans are likely to take at least
until the 2020 crop year to recover.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Kopke was considering other

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They join other recent arrivals over the past 18 months, including
F&S Produce, Seashore Fruit & Produce Company and Infinity
Herbs.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another new arrival is California-based Del Rey
Avocado, which located their East Coast operation here and within a year
had to double capacity. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks to consumers in the Eastern United
States, and their growing appetite for quality Del Rey Avocados (which
include conventionally grown, organically grown and the highly sought
after Fair Trade product lines), the company had to add an additional
30,000 square feet to the facility which services as far north as Maine,
south to the Carolinas and west to the Missouri Valley.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">According to
company officials, Del Rey is one of the few California-based companies
that owns its facilities on the East Coast, which gives them total
control over operations.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“We had a business
relationship with companies in the city, so it made perfect sense for us
to purchase a location there,” said Del Rey Avocado President Bob Lucy.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“With the addition of new state-of-the-art cooling, ripening and
bagging facilities in Vineland, we feel well positioned to service all
avocado needs in the growing Northeast region for years to come. It’s a
great location for us.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An existing operation which is
seeing rapid growth is Davy Cold Storage, which is supported by their
sister company MJD Trucking.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since 2016, the company has added 75,000
square feet of capacity to the existing 78,000 square feet and now has
approximately 17,000 pallet positions. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“The incentives the city was able
to offer, including affordable land and their low interest loan
program, made it very attractive for my parents to originally locate MJD
in Vineland, which was soon followed by our cold storage operation,”
said Vice President Michael Davy.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">”It turned out to be the best decision
we ever made. The city staff is great to work with, and they are always
there for us with whatever we need.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“The Vineland
location provides easy access to Routes 40 and 55, and Interstates 95
and 295, which makes it easy for MJD to move our customers’ frozen and
refrigerated products to locations along the East Coast, southwest to
Texas and northwest to Chicago,” Davy said.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Davy
expansion, along with new arrivals, including Legacy Cold Storage,
M&O Freezer and KRES Cold Storage, will now give Vineland nearly
40,000,000 cubic feet of cold storage capacity.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“We
have taken a very aggressive approach when it comes to development by
marketing to site selectors and letting them know what we have to offer,
which has paid off. As a result, we are confident about the future,”
Fanucci concluded.</span></span></div>
<h4 class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></h4>
<h4 class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">INDIANA FEEDS THE WORLD</span></span></h4>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From
hams to turkeys to dairy products, Hoosier farmers help put food on the
table both at home and abroad. With nearly 15 million acres of
farmland, Indiana’s farms grow, produce and process some of the
highest-quality products in the world.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“International
markets seek us out for the quality of our products and the safety of
our product handling,” said Bruce Kettler, director of the Indiana State
Department of Agriculture.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The state ranks 8th in the nation in
agricultural exports, with just over $4.6 billion in agricultural
products exported in 2017.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Looking internationally
helps keep Indiana top of mind, Kettler added.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Sometimes, all a company
knows about the U.S. is what’s happening on the East and West coasts.
If we’re talking agriculture, they need to know what Indiana offers.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Indiana’s
commodity and livestock products are much sought after in the food
processing industry, Kettler noted.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Processors take the raw commodities
our state produces and does something that adds value and creates jobs.
Where we can and how we can, we want to develop that.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“When
we narrow down needs, Indiana rises to the top in terms of business
climate, culture, tech, supply chain infrastructure and research
assets—that’s what they’re looking for,” Kettler added.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For
the value-added food processing giants who dot the southern half of the
state, trade missions represent an important avenue to expanding beyond
the domestic market—while singing the praises of the advanced supply
chain they enjoy thanks to Indiana farming operations.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hoosier
Energy, a generation and transmission cooperative serving 18-member
electric cooperatives in central and southern Indiana and southeastern
Illinois, supports the state’s efforts to encourage direct foreign
investment in Indiana agriculture and related added-value businesses.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Maintaining a global focus helps farmers here at home,” noted Harold
Gutzwiller, Manager, Economic Development and Key Accounts for Hoosier
Energy. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Not everyone is aware of Indiana-grown grains and products or
the supply chain infrastructure we have in place to support the
businesses that depend upon those products.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The supply chain expertise in Indiana is worth pointing out, Gutzwiller said.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When
Farbest Foods, one of the nation’s largest producers of turkeys,
announced a new $70 million production facility in Vincennes a few years
ago, investment continued down the food chain.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Growing barns, corn and
other grains were needed to supply those mills while also providing area
farmers with an opportunity to diversify their operations.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“We
can show how successful the farmers in our service territory are to the
supply chain in supporting a major agribusiness investment,” Gutzwiller
said. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Our farmers produce the raw products that have enabled
value-added producers to grow and expand and provide jobs here. If an
agricultural delegation is thinking of locating in Indiana, or wants to
learn more about supply chain efficiencies, we’re here to help the state
any way we can.”</span></span></div>
<h4 class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></h4>
<h4 class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">GROW YOUR ROOTS IN FLORIDA</span></span></h4>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Florida’s
agriculture, natural resources and food industries collectively
represent the state’s second largest economic engine and account for
two-thirds of its land.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While Florida is known around the world for its
citrus, the state also is a leader in the production of products,
including nursery and greenhouse crops, seafood and honey.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In fact,
Florida ranks among the top four states for production in 15 different
crop categories.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having the proper infrastructure in
place to export these crops is just as important as producing them, and
Florida excels at it.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 2017, Florida’s agricultural exports totaled
more than $4 billion and over the past decade has increased at least 30
percent.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Florida’s export industry is so grand that 90
percent of all perishable imports into the U.S. from Latin America come
through South Florida–including fresh flowers.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
Sunshine State has supplemented its geographic advantages and cultural
ties to Latin America with an extensive trade and transportation
infrastructure, and streamlined logistics and customs operations to
reduce cool chain disruptions.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These same amenities have helped make
Florida one of the top 10 states for agricultural exports.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Meanwhile,
Florida, already a leader in industrial food-commodity cold storage, is
poised to see strong growth in cold storage warehousing and
distribution with the rise in online grocery and meal kit delivery
sales.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Florida’s large and growing population has been a
growing customer base for a range of new grocery delivery options, from
Instacart to Walmart Grocery Delivery.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">According to CBRE, growth in
online grocery and meal kit delivery sales in recent years will generate
demand for up to 100 million additional square feet of cold storage
warehousing space over the next five years.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bulk of this demand is
expected to be concentrated in major food producing states like Florida,
and other states like California, Texas, Wisconsin and Washington where
there already is a significant food supply chain in place.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All
of this activity is supported by Florida’s large food manufacturing
base. Florida is home to more than 4,600 food facilities registered with
the Food and Drug Administration.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That’s the third highest among all
U.S. states. In fact, some of Florida’s best known national brands are
in the food and beverage business: Boar’s Head, Fresh Del Monte Produce,
Cott, Florida Crystals and Publix.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With a diverse
array of agribusinesses choosing Florida as its home, it’s no surprise
that the state has new industries emerging in the marketplace. Hemp is
one of those emerging industries in the U.S. and is poised to become a
multibillion dollar enterprise.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Florida’s deep agricultural heritage,
climate and farming infrastructure make Florida an ideal location for
hemp production. Recent legislation created a state industrial hemp
advisory council, pilot projects and a state hemp program.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">State leaders
see the potential for hemp products to replace certain plastics,
Styrofoam, paper and concrete, and for hundreds of thousands of acres of
Florida farm land dedicated to industrial hemp production.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
growth of the industry and the development of new hemp-based
bio-composite materials, food additives, cosmetics and medicinal
products is being supported by the University of Florida’s Institute of
Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS).</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It has launched a pilot
research program with Florida-based Green Roads Inc. to explore the
potential to grow industrial hemp across the state. UF/IFAS is one of
the nation’s largest comprehensive agriculture research extension
systems and boasts a strong track record supporting innovation in crop
varieties, pest management and growing methods.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In fact, UF/IFAS has
ranked 1st or 2nd among universities for agricultural research and
development expenditures every year since 2000. It is no surprise that
its use of technology makes UF/IFAS a leader. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">UF/IFAS uses soil moisture
sensors to help farmers maximize their water efficiency, allowing
farmers to view the data directly on their mobile phones to make
decisions in a timely manner.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Florida’s agriculture
industry employs more than 2 million people and contributes more than
$100 billion to the state’s economy each year. The Sunshine State also
is a business-friendly state because of its low tax environment and tax
breaks for target industries including agriculture.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Florida was ranked
the second-best state for business by Chief Executive Magazine. It also
ranked first in the Southeast U.S. and fourth in the nation on the Tax
Foundations State Business Tax Climate Index. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With no personal income
tax and a highly skilled workforce, Florida deserves a spot on
everyone’s short list for agribusiness projects.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Florida Power & Light Company
(FPL) is focused on growing Florida’s economy, specifically the
agribusiness sector, and offers white glove support to those
agribusiness projects considering the Southeast U.S.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As one of the
nation’s largest, cleanest and most reliable electric utilities, FPL has
created innovative solutions to drive down electricity costs. FPL
offers a commercial/industrial rate that is 41 percent below the
national average.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">FPL also provides tangible, sustainable benefits for
its more than 5 million customers. In fact, FPL is the largest utility
by retail electric sales in the United States, serving 35 counties, or
more than 50 percent of Florida’s population.</span></span></div>

<h4 class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">VALUE-ADDED AGRICULTURE IN HUTCHINSON, KS</span></span></h4>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Located in central Kansas, the city of Hutchinson and Reno County
have had strong job growth with abundant value-added agriculture
opportunities, manufacturing and food processing industry expansion, and
entrepreneurial ventures.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From
large corporations to entrepreneurial ventures—companies like ShieldAg,
Kansas Protein Foods, Kincaid Manufacturing and other growing ag based
manufacturers of equipment and food products are finding growth
opportunities abundant in this central Kansas community.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Agriculture
is Kansas’ largest industry, providing nearly $64 billion in total
economic contribution to the state, approximately 42 percent of the
total economy. Agriculture, food and food processing sectors support
over 6,674 jobs in Reno County, 18 percent of the county workforce.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The
sector provides a total economic contribution of approximately $1.6
billion. Main crops include wheat, soybeans and corn, with an abundance
of production agriculture and a diversified mix of crops, beef
production, dairy and other expected aspects of the ag economy.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Farm
machinery and equipment manufacturers contribute $252.9 million to the
economy. Other top ranked sectors of the ag economy include meat
processing, flour milling, paperboard mills, beef cattle ranching, grain
farming, wholesale trade, spice and extract manufacturing, oilseed
farming and fluid milk production.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With support of
state and local programs that provide resources to support growth, a
local economic development team at the Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber
and Greater Hutch, and the focus on the State of Kansas’ Strategic
Growth Initiative, it seems that companies in Reno County have all of
the ingredients for success.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The cluster of industries and services,
transportation connectivity with two Class I Rail providers, a certified
shovel ready industrial park, a stable and qualified workforce, provide
a location which fosters new business growth and supports business
expansion.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Debra Teufel, President of the Hutch
Chamber, cited location advantages, workforce training and programs such
as Reno County’s Job Incentive Program, coupled with State of Kansas
incentives, Kansas Global’s export accelerator programs and the four
designated Reno County Opportunity Zones in Hutchinson and South
Hutchinson as reasons that companies are choosing to invest in Reno
County.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Reno County has long been home to companies
like Kroger, Tyson Foods, Collins Bus, Superior Boiler, Jackson Dairy,
Cargill, Morton Salt, Haven Steel, Sonoco Papermill and Kuhn Krause.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tyson Foods operates two locations in Reno County in Hutchinson and
South Hutchinson with nearly 550 employees, with processed meat
products. With recent investments in machinery and equipment to enhance
production, Tyson continues to be a growing employer in the market.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In
addition, Kroger operates a large warehouse and logistics operation in
Hutchinson, employing over 1,000 across their distribution, accounting
services and various divisions in Hutchinson, near the original location
where Dillon’s Grocery Stores were founded.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Other
large employers such as Kuhn Krause produce hay and tillage equipment
with manufacturing, engineering and R&D, and continue to invest in
robotic welding cells to improve efficiency. Kansas’ exemption of
business and machinery from property tax make capital investment in
equipment more affordable.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For example, ShieldAg, with
44 employees in Reno County, manufactures agricultural conservation
tillage equipment, crop care tools, grain drill enhancements, harvest
aids and belted grain conveyors and is seeing great success distributing
across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and 15 other countries.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mike Bergmeier,
ShieldAg President, attributes a central location and robust assistance
by partners as a key to their growth.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Our location in Hutchinson
places us in the center of our High Plains distribution network with
easy access to the greater corn belt and with efficient transportation
from our central USA steel mills and other suppliers. With financial
assistance from the KS Dept. of Ag, KS Department of Commerce and Kansas
Global’s export accelerator programs, ShieldAg has been able to expand
exports to the Eastern European countries of Ukraine, Russia and
Kazakhstan.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another example of recent business growth
is Kansas Protein Foods which acquired a former CHS Foods location and
brought a shuttered facility back online last year. “The City, County
and State all came together to provide resources that brought quality
jobs and superior products back to this location”, said Teufel.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mike
Chisam, CEO of Kansas Ethanol and his leadership team saw great promise
in the available skilled workforce and a need in the marketplace. He

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Morgan
Olson, LLC will invest $57.8 million to establish a new aluminum
walk-in step van assembly operation in a 925,000-square-foot plant in
Danville-Pittsylvania County, VA currently owned by IKEA.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The company
also considered Kentucky, North Carolina, and Ohio for the project,
which will create 703 new jobs.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Morgan
Olson walk-in step vans are in demand more than ever,” said Mike
Ownbey, President and CEO of Morgan Olson. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We’ve been very fortunate
with capturing large orders from major parcel package delivery
companies, however, other important industries and valued customers use
Morgan Olson walk-in vans every day, too.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“</span></span>Baking and snack food
distributors, textile rental and uniform companies, and even city
municipalities all rely on Morgan Olson walk-in vans for their business
services.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“</span></span>One of the most attractive aspects of locating in
Danville-Pittsylvania County is that we will be able to take advantage
of the new Virginia Talent Accelerator Program, which will help us
quickly attract and train the high-quality workforce we need to deliver
for our customers.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In July, IKEA announced it would shut down its
Danville-Pittsylvania County facility, the company’s only manufacturing
site in the United States, resulting in an expected loss of
approximately 300 jobs. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Morgan Olson’s operation will be housed in the
plant currently owned by IKEA, which had planned to close in December
2019. Current IKEA employees will receive priority consideration as part
of Morgan Olson’s hiring process.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Support for Morgan Olson’s job
creation will be provided through the Virginia Talent Accelerator
Program, a new workforce initiative created by the Virginia Economic Development Partnership
(VEDP) in collaboration with the Virginia Community College System,
with funding support from Governor Ralph Northam’s administration and
the Virginia General Assembly.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Launched in 2019, the program accelerates
new facility start-ups through the direct delivery of recruitment and
training services that are fully customized to a company’s unique
products, processes, equipment, standards, and culture.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All program
services are provided at no cost to qualified new and expanding
companies as an incentive for job creation. Morgan Olson represents the
first company to benefit from the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
VEDP worked with Pittsylvania County, the City of Danville, the General
Assembly’s Major Employment and Investment (MEI) Project Approval
Commission, and the Southern Virginia Regional Alliance to secure the
project for Virginia.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In addition to the Virginia Talent Accelerator
Program support, Morgan Olson will be eligible to receive an MEI custom
performance grant of $7 million, to be paid post-performance, subject to
approval by the Virginia General Assembly.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Virginia Tobacco Region
Revitalization Commission has approved a grant in the amount of $1.195
million from the Tobacco Region Opportunity Fund for the project.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
company is also eligible to receive state benefits from the Virginia
Enterprise Zone Program, administered by the Virginia Department of
Housing and Community Development, as well as Sales and Use tax
exemptions on manufacturing equipment and a Major Business Facility Job
Tax Credit for new, full-time jobs created.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Securing a
project of this magnitude is a big win for Danville-Pittsylvania
County, Southern Virginia, and the entire Commonwealth,” said Gov.
Northam. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Not only will Morgan Olson ensure the future of this plant for

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Less
than 10 years ago, Morgan Olson’s Sturgis, MI facility was
manufacturing 100 percent of the company’s step van orders.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As the
preferred walk-in step van body company with plants at full capacity,
Morgan Olson needed to grow to meet customers’ needs and protect team
members’ work-life balance. The new Virginia plant represents the
company’s fourth expansion in the last six years.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Morgan
Olson’s major investment in Pittsylvania County and the City of
Danville is a powerful testament to Southern Virginia’s position as a
manufacturing hub,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Brian Ball. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“As
the first company to receive support from the new Virginia Talent
Accelerator Program, Morgan Olson will benefit from tailored recruitment
and training services to accelerate the timeline to full production.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">”</span></span></div>

and we look forward to a successful partnership in the years to come.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“With
this announcement, Morgan Olson will become the largest private
employer in Pittsylvania County, and we are grateful for the company’s
long-term commitment to the community,” stated Robert “Bob” Warren, Vice
Chairman of the Danville-Pittsylvania Regional Industrial Facility
Authority and Member of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We are proud that our excellent workforce was able to attract North
America’s premier walk-in van manufacturer, and believe that the

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">GlaxoSmithKline
plc (GSK) will invest $16.7 million to expand its consumer healthcare
research and development center in the City of Richmond, VA. The global
healthcare company chose Virginia as one of three R&D laboratory
hubs for its global Consumer Healthcare business and plans to add
approximately 150 new jobs at the site.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The
Commonwealth of Virginia and the City of Richmond provide an
environment for GSK Consumer Healthcare to build leading R&D
capabilities, including access to world-class talent and universities,
while also offering an attractive cost of living and favorable business
operating costs,” said Dr. Peter John Ramsey, PhD, Vice President and
Head, GSK Consumer Healthcare R&D, The Americas.</span></span><br />
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In
August 2019, GSK announced the completion of its transaction with
Pfizer to combine consumer healthcare businesses into a world-leading
consumer healthcare joint venture, which will be the largest
over-the-counter healthcare company in the world.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The joint venture
brings together two portfolios of consumer health brands, including
GSK’s Sensodyne, Voltaren, and Panadol and Pfizer’s Advil, Centrum, and
Caltrate. The existing R&D facility in the City of Richmond,
formerly the Global R&D headquarters for Pfizer Consumer Healthcare,
will be operated by the new consumer healthcare joint venture.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“We
are extremely proud that GSK will make a major investment in the City
of Richmond and continue to grow its footprint in Virginia,” said
Governor Ralph Northam.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The greater Richmond region has emerged as a
hub for leading biosciences companies, offering world-class education
institutions, research assets, and a pipeline of skilled talent, and
GSK’s consumer healthcare joint venture and expansion will further its
position as a powerhouse in this industry. We thank GSK for its
commitment to our Commonwealth, and stand ready to support the company’s
success.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Virginia Economic Development Partnership
(VEDP) worked with the City of Richmond and the Greater Richmond
Partnership to secure the project for Virginia. Gov. Northam approved a
$675,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund to assist the
City of Richmond with the project.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Support for GSK Consumer Healthcare’s job creation will be provided through the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program,
a new workforce initiative created by VEDP in collaboration with the
Virginia Community College System, with funding support from the Northam
administration and the Virginia General Assembly.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Launched in 2019, the
program accelerates new facility start-ups through the direct delivery
of recruitment and training services that are fully customized to a
company’s unique products, processes, equipment, standards, and culture.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">All program services are provided at no cost to qualified new and
expanding companies as an incentive for job creation. GSK Consumer
Healthcare represents the second company to benefit from the Virginia
Talent Accelerator Program.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“GSK is an important,
long-term employer in the City of Richmond, and this major investment
and expansion will further the company’s portfolio of important consumer
healthcare products and ensure this operation’s continued viability in
Richmond,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Brian Ball.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Life

corporate partners like GSK, and we look forward to the company’s
continued growth in Richmond.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BrightFarms,
a packaged salads company, will create 54 jobs in Henderson County, NC.
The company will invest $21 million to operate a hydroponic greenhouse
in Etowah.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Today’s
consumers are searching for produce that’s fresher, safer and
responsibly grown. It’s the reason that locally grown food has become
the #1 purchase driver in produce for supermarkets,” said Steve Platt,
CEO of BrightFarms.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“We are incredibly grateful for the support from
Governor Cooper and the North Carolina Department of Commerce and look
forward to bringing local, pesticide-free leafy greens to North Carolina
and neighboring states.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BrightFarms grows leafy salad
greens and herbs including spring mix, spinach, baby kale, romaine and
arugula. The company describes its local greens, which are grown in a
safe, secure and clean indoor environment without the use of pesticides,
as beyond organic.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">By growing produce close to its consumers,
BrightFarms’ produce is delivered to supermarkets in as little as 24
hours of harvest, about a week faster than leafy greens grown on the
West Coast.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BrightFarms’ North Carolina greenhouse will
be the company’s sixth and one of its largest locations to date. At
full production, the 280,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art greenhouse in
Hendersonville could produce up to two million pounds of leafy greens
each year.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Agriculture has always been a strong driver
in North Carolina, and BrightFarms’ expansion is good for our state,”
said Governor Roy Cooper. “They are committed to conserving water, land
and energy resources while growing their business–green economic
development that is good for the company, the community and the workers
who will support them.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The North Carolina Department
of Commerce led the state’s support for the company’s decision. A
performance-based grant of $55,000 from the One North Carolina Fund will
help facilitate BrightFarms’s operation in Henderson County. The One NC
Fund provides financial assistance to local governments to help attract
economic investment and to create jobs.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Companies receive no money
upfront and must meet job creation and capital investment targets to
qualify for payment. All One NC grants require a matching grant from
local governments and any award is contingent upon that condition being
met.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“North Carolina is a great location for innovators
like BrightFarms to do business,” said North Carolina Commerce
Secretary Anthony M. Copeland. “The company will join more than 1,000
food and beverage manufacturers in our state and will have their local
produce available to a large supply chain along the East Coast.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In addition to North Carolina Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina,
other key partners in the project include the North Carolina Community
College System, Agribusiness Henderson County and Henderson County.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Life sciences companies can lease a
single workstation, a single lab, a suite of offices, or any combination
of space within three buildings on campus. Unlike many incubators,
HudsonAlpha does not require an equity stake in its resident Associate
Companies and also does not aim to graduate them out in order to bring
in new companies.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rather, the economic development team there works like
a mini-chamber for its current tenants to bring them business
programming and resources, networking events, and best of all space to
expand as companies need it.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Our goal is to provide

shared spaces and full services leases, make locating at HudsonAlpha
the first of many simple choices that allow biotech management teams to
spend their time and effort on and in the business. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">CEOs find that
rather than spinning wheels coordinating adequate internet bandwidth, or
finding impressive space for meetings with potential investors, they
can spend time on solid pitch decks, effective business models and
critical reimbursement considerations.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Many times when
a company first contacts me, they are seeking 2500 square feet, but I
am pleased to lease them only a single workstation or lab. Once they
have seen the campus, the shared conference rooms, library, auditorium
and classroom, startups and early stage companies realize they can spend
their funding on progressing the science and product instead overhead,”
says Amy Sturdivant, Director of Business Recruitment.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“When I came
from California, I found everything was here that I needed and more. We
have been able to take the promise of our patents and attract the
buyers we need to move our company forward and on to the next idea,”
said Randall Moreadith, PhD, MD, MBA, Serina Therapeutics.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Human, plant and animal genomics are
the focus of the faculty on campus who came to Huntsville, Alabama from
Stanford, Emory, and Vanderbilt to name a few.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">HudsonAlpha
leaders recognize that the Institute will create the most value for
society when working with partners who have complementary expertise or
access to medical and educational communities across the country and
world that are not routinely accessible.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We are thrilled to welcome the
growth of these companies in New Orleans,” said Quentin L. Messer, Jr.,
president and CEO of the New Orleans Business Alliance.
“Creating expanded opportunities for high-quality jobs in biotechnology
is a key objective of the New Orleans Business Alliance, Louisiana
Economic Development and the City of New Orleans. Beyond the jobs and
investment, these companies are changing lives, which is why economic
development matters.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">AxoSim’s Nerve-On-A-Chip® and

based in Redwood City, CA and has collaborated with researchers at the
New Orleans BioInnovation Center.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Opening our research
lab in New Orleans follows our acquisition of intellectual property
earlier this year that was based in part on research at, and in
collaboration with, leading academic medical centers in Louisiana,” said
Cadex Genomics CEO Bill Haack. </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We were also impressed by the
infrastructure, training and research incentives offered by the New
Orleans Business Alliance and Louisiana Economic Development, along with
the ability to source the talent needed to meet our technical hiring
requirements.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In moving from the New Orleans

diabetes and regenerative medicine.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Obatala Sciences
is excited to contribute to our budding biotech ecosystem here in New
Orleans, and we are dedicated to this cause,” said CEO Trivia Frazier.
“We recognize the value of investing in our community and partnering
with the local educational institutions to retain the talent necessary
to advance our mission. In this manner, New Orleans can establish a
blueprint for other cities with a growing population that possesses
highly technical expertise within in a traditionally underserved
region.”</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
