    Chanute competed with 48 other cities to bring Orizon to Chanute and Southeast Kansas.

    "When the competition was over, Chanute was the right choice for us because of Chanute’s proximity to our existing facilities, the ability to assist with our hiring and training needs and the proven mechanical aptitude and work ethic of the people in southeast Kansas. ”
