Chuck Fleischmann hands out first Economic Excellence Award

OAK RIDGE, TN – Congressman Chuck Fleischmann handed out his first Economic Excellence Award today to Oak Ridge Office Supply.

"I was honored to give my first Economic Excellence Award to a deserving company like Oak Ridge Office Supply. For almost 15 years, they have grown their business, weathered tough times and brought jobs to Anderson County. With 17 employees now, they are a great example of what hard work and the American free enterprise system can do. I ran a business with my wife for 24 years and know how tough it is. I am glad to be able to spotlight this deserving business and the example they set," Fleischmann said.

"I would like to thank Congressman Fleischmann for coming out today and recognizing the business we run. We open our doors each day to serve our customers the best we can and work to grow our business. We have survived the last few years of tough economic times by working hard and providing the best service we can. I think it is important that businesses that do the right thing be noticed, and I hope Congressman Fleischmann continues to point out the best businesses East Tennessee has to offer," Connie Justice, owner of Oak Ridge Office Supply, said.

This award is meant to highlight businesses that "embody the true idea of hard work and success" and the great business environment we have in the 3rd District. Deserving businesses can be nominated at /EconomicExcellence.
