Oakridge Global Energy Solutions (OTCMKTS:OGES) recently received impressive accolades from a major press conference in which Florida Governor Rick Scott, joined by several local dignitaries and business entrepreneurs, met with members of the Oakridge staff and executive team to celebrate the Company’s upcoming expansion plans and their impact on the local community.
As quoted in the press release:
The event took place on October 6 when Governor Scott, along with Space Coast Economic Development Commission CEO Lynda Weatherman, City of Palm Bay Mayor William Capote, and several other distinguished guests, visited Oakridge’s new corporate headquarters and manufacturing center in Palm Bay to recognize the Company’s expansion and subsequent creation of 1,000 new jobs in the community. This expansion is part of Oakridge’s existing and ongoing $270 million investment in its Brevard County lithium ion battery development and manufacturing facilities.
After his tour of Oakridge’s sprawling new 68,718-square-foot facility – a necessary upgrade from the Company’s previous 12,500-square-foot facility – Governor Scott addressed the throng of major media outlets from Central Florida, stating, “Oakridge Global Energy Solutions could have moved their headquarters anywhere in the world and I am proud to announce that they chose to remain in Florida and create 1,000 new jobs. Growing businesses like Oakridge…create opportunities for Floridians to provide for their families and build great careers, and that is why we will work with the Legislature to fully fund Enterprise Florida so more businesses have the opportunity to grow in Florida.”
The Governor personally greeted each Oakridge employee during his visit, and bestowed the prestigious “Governor’s Business Ambassador” Medal to Oakridge Executive Chairman and CEO, Steve Barber.
