Thursday morning, the group had the opportunity to tour Thrush Aircraft, an agricultural aircraft manufacturer here in Albany.

Claudio Leoncavallo, the Consul General of Switzerland, stressed the importance of touring different parts of the south, and especially Georgia, and taking what he’s learned back to his country in hopes of creating more jobs both here and in Switzerland.
