A delegation of Japanese corporate executives was in Jackson County, West Virginia this week to tour local sites and learn about potential business opportunities.
Wednesday, the delegation toured K.S. of WV located in Ravenswood, West Virginia and enjoyed a fantastic luncheon at the Butcher Block in Millwood, West Virginia.
The delegation is made up of 18 representatives from companies in industries including high tech materials, the automotive industry, and corporate development. K.S. was a perfect stop for their visit as they are in the automotive sector.
“Jackson County has seen tremendous growth over the last several years, we are excited to showcase Jackson County and all the great things we have to offer” stated Meghan Parsons, Associate Director of the Jackson County Development Authority. The Japanese delegation has been in West Virginia since Saturday and are also making stops in other counties as well.
Mark Whitley, Executive Director of the Jackson County Development Authority said of the visit, “We are pleased to be able to host these great folks. Typically, we visit Japan and attend trade shows in specific sectors, and it is nice to have them here”.
