A great article in the Parkersburg News on the influence of international companies on the community, including a focus on teamwork:

“The teamwork here is unbelievable,” said Hino team leader Anthony Frontera of Parkersburg. “When we’re done with a job, we all yell ‘Complete!’ together.There’s not office staff and production — we’re all together,” she said. “Everybody is a team and that’s a big difference from where I’ve worked before.”

Incidentally, Parkersburg is a member of the National League of Cities’ “Inclusive Communities” program.
