Pattillo Construction Co. has been a part of this endeavor for five decades. We have led industries to Georgia's citizens with speculative construction in small, yet deserving communities, in recognizing the benefits for all concerned. Georgia's Manufacturing Appreciation Week is a tribute and acknowledgement of the best of our state's manufacturers. Industry employs our citizens and pushes the envelope of education and learning in order to be competitive in a world where machine operations require greater and more refined skills and cognitive processes. It is only right that we take time out to acknowledge these fine companies that have made such a positive contribution to our healthy economy.
Industry needs employees with a world class education to compete in today's economy.
We are honored to be a part of this success and encourage others to take the time to appreciate what manufacturing has done for our state, both historically and for its future growth. It is a privilege for Georgia Power to be a supporter of Manufacturing Appreciation Week. We are always pleased to join forces with our partners in economic development such as Quick Start, and bolster the effort to bring companies and communities together. M.A.W. is a perfect way to say thank you to our customers and to have the opportunity to share insights and information with our partners across the state.
