QUOTABLES
Athens EDC Board Member David Holdredge: “We are very pleased that you are coming. We hope that you will be a big part of our business community, and we certainly welcome you and your California employees as citizens of Athens.”
MED-LOGICS CEO Rod Ross: “We truly appreciate all of your hospitality and we do feel welcome. We do want to contribute in a variety of ways, and one of the ways that I hope I can help is to help bring more medical device companies here to Athens. Because the more medical device companies you can bring here the more that will come, and the more vendors, suppliers, molders, tubing extractors, machine shops … all of that will follow. That’s the way it has always happened.”
