A Busy Week in the Tenth District
This week I had the opportunity to visit some Tenth District businesses and learn more about the important role they play in our community as well as the goods and services they provide across the country. My first tour was at Renwood Mills in Newton where I learned about the milling process used to produce flour, corn meal, grits, and specialty mixes since 1935. Renwood Mill is a fantastic example of Tenth District manufacturing leading the way.
I also stopped by Cargo Transporters in Claremont where I had an informative conversation about the crippling effect high gas prices and the broken supply chain has had on the trucking industry. They employ innovative strategies to improve safety and develop the workforce critical to our nation’s economy.
It was great to finish off my visits with Tenth District businesses with a tour of American Woodmark in Lincoln County. This major employer manufactures cabinets for home improvement retailers nationwide and is active in making our area a great place to live through its community outreach initiatives. Like Renwood Mills, American Woodmark is another wonderful example that manufacturing is alive and well in the Tenth District!
