Virginia's Rep. Goode Honored for Supporting Manufacturing

Rep. Virgil Goode (R-Va.) was honored by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) for his support of American-based manufacturing during a ceremony at Cardinal Homes, a modular home manufacturer in Wylliesburg, Va.

Goode received the Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence in recognition of his supportive voting record on key legislation affecting manufacturing.

Goode's congressional district includes several counties in southwest Virginia and is home to at least nine modular home manufacturing facilities. Three NAHB Building Systems Councils (BSC) members — Cardinal Homes, Nationwide Custom Homes and Mod-U-Kraf Homes — have modular plants in Goode's district.
