He's right in saying that Chattanooga has greater potential than any similar sized city in the South and perhaps the country. I hope he'll make a diplomatic splash next year when a Wuxi, China photo exhibit is scheduled to open here. Given Alstom's French connection, VW's German ties and Komatsu's Japanese roots, significant Chinese investment in the Tennessee Valley is just around the corner. Ron's support of the Sister City/Wuxi connection has been vital to the ongoing dialog that should yield great dividends in the future. Keep up the great work Ron!
