This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
It all started because Chris Peterson's dad was a cabinetmaker. Even though Chris got his degree in civil engineering, he just couldn't get woodworking out of his system. It turns out his engineering background was a natural fit for the beautiful designs Riverwoods Mill produces.
Riverwoods Mill is your one-stop shop for cabinetry and millwork. The highly-functional patented sliding door system, or moving walls as they call it, is something you have to see for yourself. With the outstanding scenery in St. George and Cedar City, this system takes advantage of the many vistas the area has to offer. The Riverwoods Mill showroom at 316 E. 1400 South in St. George is designed to show you just how stunning their custom cabinetry is when it's all together in a kitchen.
Riverwoods Mill is the standard and trend setter in kitchen design and manufacture. They use only the highest quality of materials. To put the expertise of this company's handmade wood products in perspective, they were hired by the general contractor for the refurbishing of Andrew Jackson's barracks in New Orleans which date back to the 1830s. The barracks suffered significant damage from hurricanes Katrina and Rita just a few years ago. The details in the work they did are amazing and would be even better in person.
Companies like Riverwoods Mill are the reason Utah is leading out in the nation for our economic situation. A recent Newsweek article listed Utah as one of the top 10 places in America poised for recovery.
Thanks to our Economic Development Corporation, we've also set records for attracting more than 40 new companies and securing nearly $2 billion in capital investments. This has helped sustain our economic growth over the last five years.
The growth at Riverwoods Mill has been excellent in the last few years. They currently have over 30 employees. The local connection is the majority of their business, but they have shipped their woodworking and millwork all over Utah and the western United States, from Colorado to Hawaii.
For Zions Bank, I'm Chris Redgrave, speaking on business.
