In Part #1<\/a> & Part #2<\/a> of this series, we took a look inside Tyton Bioenergy Systems<\/a>‘ new process for transforming tobacco into a crop that can be used to make other products. In Part #3, we’re going to take a look at the announcement event and start one final trip through the building.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s about 9:30 AM on Thursday, and the crowds are starting to arrive. Let’s bring on the photos.<\/p>\n

The stage and chairs are all set up.<\/p><\/div>\n

Some of the Tyton employees are here to listen to the speeches.<\/p><\/div>\n

The media pool is getting their coverage. Danville’s Mark Aron, R&B’s Matt Bell & Vicky Cruz, and WSET’s Tony Watts & Valerie Bragg are here.<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s standing room only at the back. Corrie Teague & Kim Custer from Danville’s Economic Development office are closest to the camera.<\/p><\/div>\n

Secretary of Agriculture & Forestry Todd Haymore explains why he helped steer Tyton to the Danville area.<\/p><\/div>\n

All of today’s guests get a tour of the company. Since we came through here about an hour ago, you can see that the work has been continuing.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The workers are still shoving tobacco plants into the processing machine.<\/p><\/div>\n

We’ve got one final article to go where we’ll be taking a look at some of the things that we didn’t cover in the earlier media tour. Thanks for reading the most in-depth coverage of this event… only on SouthsideCentral!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
