CHOOSING GOOCHLAND COUNTY
TKL relocated to the Greater Richmond area in 1989. "Long Island was an expensive place to operate from," explains Tom Dougherty.
The company initially rented some space in the North Run Business Park. "But within the first 2 to 3 months of coming into town, I knew renting wasn't what I wanted to do," says Dougherty.
During a drive through Goochland County, Dougherty came across the Oilville Business Park.
The area's natural beauty and quietness appealed to Dougherty. "I love the environment. It's a nice, peaceful spot. It's a great place to come to," shares Dougherty.
A family-friendly community was another draw. Says Dougherty, "We were moving with three children. This is a great place for the family. It's a good environment for the kids. It's a great place to grow up."
"Goochland County is really a best-kept secret."
