"Ashland greatly appreciates the enthusiastic support of Governor McDonnell and his administration, and the further support of Mayor Luman-Bailey and the Hopewell and regional community. This cooperation provides a strong stimulus for business growth and encourages strong communities through which we all benefit. It's always very rewarding when new manufacturing jobs are created - truly a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our Hopewell employees, and a symbol of our partnership with civic and government leaders," said John Panichella, president of Ashland Aqualon Functional Ingredients, a company division.
