A strong commitment from local government, combined with regional cooperation is the key to the diversified economic base of Wise County. Mullican Flooring decided to locate a facility in Wise County because of the interest and cooperation demonstrated by the district planning commission, as well as the local and state governments. Rick Burchfield, Plant Manager of Mullican Flooring, said, "Mullican Flooring is a success story in Wise County, with great support from the local governments, communities, and its employees. We place high value on our employees. Wise County provides qualified employees with a good attitude and great work ethic. You can make all the investments that you want, but it's the people that ultimately determine your success. We are proud to be one of the top five manufacturers of quality hardwood flooring in the United States, and just as proud to be part of Wise County."
