He stated he had worked at Pall, in Cortland, for quite some time, and Pall was now out -sourcing their water filtration equipment assembly and he had that work. There is no fabricating done at this location, all that is done is assembly of the system. It is not a retail business. Wooden pallets are left over from the assembly, and they are given away, he said. The business is growing and he plans to add more employees. In response to Member Carey's question, Mr. Goodsell stated he had six employees now and is expecting to hire four more. When asked about truck traffic, Mr. Goodsell responded that they will get a couple of trucks every "once in awhile."
