West Liberty Foods press conference on Bolingbrook, Ill. facility as landfill-free: Roger Claar
In this video press conference series, West Liberty Foods celebrated being certified a landfill-free company at the Bolingbrook, Ill. facility where a number of speakers highlighted the process and thanked the participants.
Roger Claar, Mayor of Bolingbrook, Illinois: I’m a really hands-on guy as mayor. I’m very proud to be here, and I’m very proud you chose to be here. We spent a lot of time in meetings talking about it. I was thrilled when it got done. I was thrilled when you brought the cold storage facility here. [I was thrilled] about the jobs, the company. In fact, I asked Ed [Garrett, CEO]], “where did you the name West Liberty?” I thought it was a patriotic thing. Liberty is a great name. [Garrett’s response was], “We started at West Liberty Island.” I’m thinking, “I wish you started here. It would be Bolingbrook Foods.” Anyway, I want to congratulate you on what you’ve done. I’m here on behalf of our 76,000 residents here in Bolingbrook, Ill.
