I just got through reading an interesting article in our newest local newspaper, AbouTown Press. Even in Central Texas, Bryan to be exact, the rest of the world is discovering all the great things that Bryan, College Station and the Brazos Valley, have to offer.

This article introduced a new company moving to Bryan, Toyo Ink International, based in Japan.  They produce high-quality, high performance printing inks, organic pigments and other chemicals and a major distributor of graphic arts supplies.  The Bryan facility will produce and sell coatings, fluid inks.   The article did quote the President of Toyo Ink, Fusao Ito, as saying "My personal hope is to develop a research and development center here in Texas to promote business in the US,."

 According to the article, they had looked at 100 communities, but chose Bryan.  I guess because, we're a great community,and our values are strong in the quality of life for our children, our homes and our neighbors.  I would venture to say that having  the close proximity to Texas A&M, and all that the University has to offer, was an added bonus.

My family and I moved to the Brazos Valley in 2001, and as each year passes, we are reconfirmed that we found the best place to be.  After we have spent most on our life traveling to and living in other countries, it seems that the other countries are coming here to Central Texas and the Brazos Valley.   AbouTown also express my sentiments as well, that as Bryan/College Station continues to experience business growth, the hope is that more international companies will locate to the Brazos Valley.
