Notas del editor

  1. What we want to create is a System for creating jobs in the Hickory Metro area. 1)Catalog of CVCC Resources – Find out who is willing and able to help with specific problems and projects. Lots of talent at CVCC not being utilized except for academic classes. What if you can turn them to also help with industry problems. Example of Kim Browning and lead testing for textiles – Saved the sock industry alone a conservative estimate of 29.5 million in unnecessary testing costs that would have been required this Feb 10 th . Also helping new business startups in horticulture/engineering. We know how to help model and build the green house structure but will that structure grow what is needed. That involves getting Darrell Kiser involved. The list can go on and on and Ron Valentini is working with MSC to get these resources cataloged. 2) Catalog of Hickory Metro Manufacturing Capabilities- The next piece of the puzzle is to know in fine detail what the capabilities of all the manufacturers in the area are so we can refer problems and opportunities to companies in the area. If the problems can be solved or product made by someone in the area then everyone wins. This is a key part of the system. The EDC and Chamber are both willing to make this happen along with our help. 3) MSC for Rapid Prototyping, market development, government procurement, web development, export help, testing capabilities, resource for help from other agencies, etc. Liaison to the Centennial Campus at NCSU. Wet lab space available to incubate new companies in the biotech field. 4) ASU Engineering Center – Can rapid prototype with metalworking and some 3D modeling we do not have. They are set up for curriculum classes but have been great about letting us use their toys for solving problems. 5) As a backup on the metalworking side we are exploring a working relationship with Haywood CC Advanced Tech Center. Since they are in the community college system it is easier for them to respond to some problems quickly. 6) BTEC and Triad Biotech spinoffs – we will work closely with their spin off companies to help them find the Hickory Metro area to do their manufacturing. If we have the wet lab space and the MSC reputation then it will be easier for the EDC to recruit those companies. 7) Solving Manufacturing Problems - If we create this system, no matter who is called with a manufacturing problem, we can find a solution here in the Hickory Metro Area. If we get this reputation as a problem solving community – Where do you think they will locate their next plant? 8) The entire system leads to more jobs and a better economy. 4) Catalog
