Verona city leaders have been openly expressing their delight with the impending arrival of chemical company SAFC-Pharma. They're not alone.
Gov. Jim Doyle made his first official visit to Verona in two years last week to attend the company's groundbreaking, telling the roughly 70 people in attendance that he sees its decision to build a $30 million plant and bring 45 new jobs here as a good sign for the state of Wisconsin's economy and a continuation of the state's "leadership" in the biotechnology industry.
