STUART, FL (January 26, 2010)
- The Business Development Board of Martin County (BDBMC) is pleased to
welcome Level 3 Inspection (L3I) to Martin County. The company,
founded in 2008, has moved in to new professional lab space in the
Sawgrass Business Center in Stuart.

average wage of over $70,000 annually. This move to Martin County
positions them to hire 33 additional employees over three years at an
average wage of $58,000 annually. The company is expected to invest up
to $900,000 in taxable property improvements, furniture, fixtures and
advanced digital measurement and inspection equipment.
Commissioner Patrick Hayes referred the
company to BDBMC for assistance. BDBMC staff worked closely with company
leadership to make the company's transition seamless.
"The business advantages of expanding to
Martin County were numerous, and include the new pro-business stance of
the BDB and County Commission" stated Bill Greene, L3I's Founding
Director and VP of Business Development. "These preferential advantages
also include being closer to many of our aerospace and precision
manufacturing clients, being more convenient for some of our employees
who already live in or want to move to Martin County, and the economic
advantages of lower costs of doing business. Additionally, we are a very
‘green' company, being literally and completely paperless, and we found
a solar-powered office facility to further enhance our environmental
interests."
"There is a good talent base of
prospective employees to support our growth in Martin County," added
Scott McAfee, L3I's Founding Director and VP of Engineering Services.
‘With our organizational expansion and need for both digital competency
and precision manufacturing engineering proficiency, we have found
Martin County a good resource base, and a good place to invite people to
relocate to."
