CLARKSVILLE, Va., Nov. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DRS Imaging Services, LLC today announced that it will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony on December 7th to celebrate The HiGro Group LLC's recent investment in DRS. DRS anticipates it will double the number of local families supported by the company's Clarksville facility via 100 sustainable, full-time jobs over the next 12-24 months. The partnership of local and state business and community leaders will be a critical aspect of the strategy to make Clarksville – and the greater Mecklenberg County – a hub for DRS. This is the first step in growing DRS' workforce, with plans for additional locations across the country.
In attendance at the event will be the Honorable Justin Fairfax, Lt. Governor of Virginia, who ran on a platform of supporting and expanding small businesses in Virginia. "Creating opportunity for all Virginians is a priority of our administration, and we are thrilled that DRS and HiGro are making a significant investment in the Clarksville community."
DRS is one of the largest employers in greater Mecklenberg County and considers the investment in employees to also be a direct investment in the families of Clarksville. Cliff Newman, CEO of DRS, stated that "DRS has been a member of the business community in Southern Virginia for 15 years, and we attribute our longevity to the support of our customers and partnerships with local business and government leaders. We look forward to the continued growth of our relationships in the coming years." Nick Jean-Baptiste, Co-Founder and Principal of HiGro, added that "HiGro partnered with DRS in order to grow more than our bottom line; we remain very proud of DRS' history of affecting positive change for families. The Clarksville location is a prime example of empowering the community where DRS' employees live and work."
Local government officials are also expected to attend, including mayor Kevin Allgood, Charles Simmons – chair of Clarksville's Economic Development Authority (EDA) - and members of the town council.
