As the times change, so are the area’s industries.

They are answering the ever-changing needs of their customers, whether next door or across the globe.

From tackling the threat of the Y2K bug or finding new solutions to old problems, area industries and businesses are getting ready for the new millennium. It’s no time to sit back and do business the same as yesterday.

Fortunately, local industry leaders now that and are moving ahead, making their factories and companies ready for the challenges of 2000.

By bettering their positions in the marketplace, they are also having an impact on the community.

They are helping ensure jobs, providing a solid tax base and providing several assets to the community.

The world is changing and thankfully are industries are as well.
