Hino, WES become partners
WILLIAMSTOWN — Though Hino Motors and Williamstown Elementary School have been working together since last fall, Thursday the two officially became partners in education.
Representatives from Hino, Williamstown Elementary, Wood County Schools and the Chamber of Commerce of the Mid-Ohio Valley met Thursday to sign papers officially declaring the school and the business to be business partners. Hino opened in Williamstown in 2007, filling the vacancy left by Walker Systems when that plant closed.
Principal Keith Enoch said the two groups have been working together since October of last year when the school expressed interest in a new partnership and was approached by Hino officials wanting to help.
“There has been a partnership for a while now, but there was never the right timing to sign the paperwork and make it official,” Enoch said.
