From Area Development Magazine:

“We sincerely appreciate Governor Youngkin and his office’s support in securing incentives, a crucial factor in launching our project successfully. […] His instrumental role in our decision to choose the state of Virginia and The Port of Virginia has been invaluable. We continue to expand our national footprint as a 100% family-owned business.” […]

“FreezPak’s decision to locate in the Commonwealth is a recognition of Virginia’s strategic location, world-class infrastructure, and the immediate access The Port of Virginia provides the company to reach its core customers. […] We look forward to FreezPak’s growth and success in the City of Suffolk.” […]

“The Hampton Roads Alliance was thrilled to work alongside our partners at the City of Suffolk and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to secure this project for Hampton Roads. […] FreezPak Logistics will be a fantastic addition to both our food and beverage processing, and distribution clusters, and we look forward to working with them as they continue to grow.” […]

“FreezPak is a national player with a long track record of success in the cold storage arena and having them here will be a welcome asset to the port community. […] Development of nearly a quarter of a million square feet of cold storage capacity in our market is important for a couple of reasons. It will help The Port of Virginia expand its cold and refrigerated cargo business and it is another signal to the industry that there is real value in developing in and around this port, which is America’s most modern gateway. We are looking forward to working with both companies to ensure success.”
