Additionally, we are a very ‘green’ company, being literally and completely paperless, and we found a solar-powered office facility to further enhance our environmental interests.”
“There is a good talent base of prospective employees to support our growth in Martin County,” added Scott McAfee, L3I’s Founding Director and VP of Engineering Services. ‘With our organizational expansion and need for both digital competency and precision manufacturing engineering proficiency, we have found Martin County a good resource base, and a good place to invite people to relocate to.”
