Mayor Claude Ramsey says he has been blessed by his years of service to Hamilton County. Fortunately, the blessing is mutual. Hamilton County has benefited mightily from his constructive leadership and ability during his time in office.
We think of his determined efforts – combined with the efforts of many other leaders – to attract major employers to Enterprise South industrial park. There have been disappointments at times as some big manufacturers chose other locations. But ultimately, there was wonderful success when Volkswagen announced plans to build a manufacturing plant at Enterprise South, bringing thousands of direct jobs to the plant and thousands more jobs in allied industries.
Today, Mayor Ramsey remains focused on job creation and new prospects for economic development. But he also has his eye on education, as well as on ways to encourage Hamilton Countians to lead fit, healthy lives.
Mayor Ramsey is grateful to have the opportunity to serve, and we are grateful that his service has been so productive. It should continue for another term in office.
