2006

This year was another strong one for the specialty chemical sector, especially for those companies expanding their current operations to accommodate global market demand. Much of our efforts in this sector focused on retention of jobs and landing expansion dollars for local plants. The biggest news in aerospace was the announcement of the award for the design of the next generation space vehicle. Our office worked with several teams to ensure the Johnson Space Center region was positioned as the ideal location for aerospace design.
