"Chemical manufacturing has successfully operated in West Virginia for more than 80 years. The people of West Virginia are very knowledgeable of our industry and the value we bring to society. Surveys have consistently shown very high ratings for the industry as good neighbors. Most people who move here never want to leave, resulting in good retention of the skills to operate our plants. State and local government officials also know our industry very well and are readily accessible to meet with us for support. "The bottom line is West Virginia is a great place to live and do business."

Rick Hodge, DuPont plant manager
