HB1361 - Va. Public Procurement Act; preference for goods produced in Virginia, U.S., & Va. resident bidders.
Last Name: Carter Organization: Mohawk Industries - Glasgow , VA Locality: Lexington, Va

As Senior Plant Manager of Mohawk Industries' Commercial Carpet Tile manufacturing facility in Glasgow, Va., I would like to voice my support for HB1361. As a large manufacturing facility in a small community in Rockbridge County, Mohawk employs roughly 450 people at this plant and produces carpet tile for multiple commercial applications including the following segments: Education, Workplace, Senior Living, Healthcare, Government and the Retail sectors. This legislation is very important to Mohawk Industries and the Glasgow Plant; giving preference to goods produced in Virginia and the option to match out-of-state bids would be a significant boost to our business and enhance the job security of hundreds of Mohawk employees working in Rockbridge County. We strongly support this legislation. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to share my support on behalf of Mohawk Industries and the Glasgow facility. Doug Carter - Senior Plant Manager, Mohawk Industries - Glasgow Plant
