Quote of the Day

Rep. Perriello at the New Energy Summit for the Fifth District:

“Central and Southern Virginia can be the economic engine of our Commonwealth once again if we invest now in this growth industry. We have the entrepreneurs, the research universities, the farmers, the planners and the spirit of independence that can transform our hard-hit area into the next big thing: green jobs that cannot be outsourced,” said Perriello. “In these tough times, we must have the courage to think beyond just surviving as a region to figuring out how we can thrive again. When you put together everything our region has to offer, the jobs potential is just tremendous.”
