"Galax is an ideal location for us to serve our Northeast markets," said Richie McLarty, president of Albany, a manufacturer of upholstered furniture. "This is a pro-business community with a workforce that's a perfect match for our needs."
Gov. McDonnell approved a $300,000 grant from the Governor's Opportunity Fund to assist Galax with the project, and the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission provided $680,000.
