Dear MCEDC:

It is with great pleasure that I am writing to thank the Medina County Economic Development Corporation for their comprehensive assistance in helping OPTEM, Inc. locate to Medina.

After 6 months of site searching for a facility which spanned several states, we knew Medina was to be OPTEM's new home from the moment we came to town.  After meeting the members of the MCEDC shortly after our first visit to Medina, it was clear OPTEM was important to them and the community.

Through MCEDC's seamless operation, they were able to bring the key state, county, city, and business leaders together swiftly in order to assist and encourage OPTEM to come to Medina.  After visiting with several other County Economic Development Organizations prior to coming to Medina, we knew Medina was a business friendly community.

Thank you once again for all your help, encouragement and continued support in making OPTEM, Inc. a successful company in Medina.

Sincerely,

Dr. Asis Banerjie
President
