  • (1888PressRelease) March 12, 2011 - Officials from Knight Investments LLC (KI) note how the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) welcomed January's announcement of the ARC-supported Alleghany Highlands Agricultural Center (AHAC).

    In the month of January AHAC raised sufficient capital to begin the construction of its main facility near Monterey, Virginia. As a combination meat processing and marketing facility, the AHAC will boost the local livestock industry (including sheep, cattle, goats, and hogs) while reducing time to market for the area's livestock farmers.

    Reports from compliance officials stated that many American's seemed to be passing over the agriculture industry. KI Officials stated that there seems to have been a disconnect with the importance of agricultural industry in America and the average American.

    "It is important that America find ways to become competitive in one of its richest assets - the ability to have untold amounts of land for agricultural use" released KI in an official statement.

    In addition to promoting local sustainable food-based enterprise, the project will also promote heritage tourism by showcasing traditional modes of farming.

    "This project shows what happens when local leadership and initiative are matched with federal funds provided by the Appalachian Regional Commission," said ARC Federal Co-Chair Earl F. Gohl. "Local leaders took a $32,800 federal grant and turned it into $1 million in private investment. The result is a stronger livestock industry in Highland, Bath, Pendleton, and Pocahontas Counties. Local leaders had the dream, did the work, and earned the credit. Their success also demonstrates that ARC funding continues to be a critical tool in the economic development of rural Appalachian communities." (SOURCE US ARC)

    Compliance Officials stated that the company would seek to find projects seeking compliance solutions; whereas sound collateral based opportunities could be realized between the project principal and KI's regulatory.

    Knight Investments LLC works as a private compliance firm to invest company assets on the behalf of promoting a vibrant community, low income housing, humanitarian causes, renewable energies, real estate developments, and project compliance solutions.
