Mt. Vernon, NY, September 2016— Last month, Mayor Richard Thomas of Mount Vernon, visited Unitex’s headquarters (located in Mount Vernon) to meet with company executives to discuss important issues pertaining to the city. The team at Unitex, including Michael Potack, David Potack and Robert Potack, met with Mayor Thomas to discuss the revitalization of Mount Vernon and how Unitex is fully committed to helping Mayor Thomas and his team with the challenges facing the city today. During the plant visit, the group discussed various topics such as Unitex’s perspective and guidance on economic development, housing and incentivizing companies to move to Mount Vernon.
