KIRKSVILLE, MO -- Representatives from Kirksville organizations are marketing the town overseas.
Pete Detweiler of A.T. Still University and K-REDI and Michael McManis from Truman State University are currently in Asia meeting with investors and companies interested in expanding to the U.S.
“Our people from K-REDI and so on were there to meet with reverse investment people who are interested in investing back in the United States and of course our hope is that we end up with prospects and leads, not just interested in the United States, but interested in Kirksville, Missouri,” said Phil Tate, Director of Job Creation.
Blaine Kern of HIT labs extended an invitation to K-Redi and the Kirksville universities in hopes that foreign companies will take a closer look at what Kirskville has to offer.
Human Identification Technology, or HIT is the DNA testing lab that will open in Kirksville in 2009.
