The incentives and level of support provided by the Denison Development

Alliance was instrumental in CIGNAs decision to consolidate multiple area

operational facilities into one state of the art Service Center in the summer

of 2007. With a workforce of 1,100 in the Denison Service Center, providing

call and claim service to 1.5 million medical customers and 3.4 million dental

customers, staffing stability and minimal employee

turn-over is critical. The quality, work ethic, and levelof professional commitment found in the available

workforce in the Denison area truly differentiate the

business culture and have a positive impact on

organizational success

Kellie M. Metzdorf, Vice President, Client Advocacy

CIGNA

It is with much pride that Champion Cooler Corporation has been a part of Denisonsince 1954 making us the oldest industry in Denison. Thanks to assistance from

the Denison Development weve been able to make several expansions and are

now the national leader in the production of evaporative coolers. Being located on

US Highway 75, which is considered one of the nations

premier north/south trucking routes connecting Texas to

the markets nationwide, has been one of the keys to our

long term success

Lynn Johnson, VP of Manufacturing

Champion Cooler Corporation

In 2003, TrailBlazer consolidated two area facilities into a single Texoma Operations

Center in Denison. We could not be more pleased with the quality and productivity of

the 500-plus workforce we employ here in Medicare claims processing and customer

service operations. The assistance provided by the Denison Development Alliance

was a key factor in making this a successful move for

TrailBlazer.

Gil R. Glover, President and COOTrailBlazer Health Enterprises, LLC

Denison has much to offer its residents and visitors from its wonderful public parks

and nationally recognized hospital to the exemplary public school system. All these

things and more combine to make Denison a stand-out

town with stand-out people who celebrate the art of liv-

ing. Being able to enjoy the community and feel safe at

the same time is definitely

a winning combination.
