Ulster County Development and China

On the front page of the Kingston Daily Freeman today the headline was Opportunity knocks with China. It was all about the Ulster County Development Corp’s recent two week trip through China searching for opportunities for local businesses in China. One opportunity for example is in the solar energy industry, god knows that getting China to use greener energy could only help our planet. In fact there are already some Ulster County companies supplying Chinese manufacturers with specialized components.

I had lunch with Ward Todd, Ulster County Chamber of Commerce President before the trip. In his quest for pre-trip info he wanted to discuss my recent foray to China. I saw the busy and ambitious itinerary that the group had set up. I salute all involved for going out into the world to build a better future here in Ulster County.
