The Dennis Karr Airpark has its first resident. After about four months of negotiations, Information Capture Solutions, which has offices in London and Williamsburg, purchased 2.8 acres of property to construct a new facility.

Charles Pennington, executive director of the London-Laurel County Industrial Development Authority, said construction of the facility is expected to begin immediately, though there is no timetable for completion.

The facility will permit ICS to combine its operations from London and Williamsburg into one facility. ICS focuses on front end document capture input management as well as consulting, systems development, document capture, information knowledge management and web repository services..

"Basically, they take information that is on paper and digitize it," Pennington said.

Pennington said in addition to the 49 people currently employed, there will be more job openings, though there is no estimate as to how many.

Pennington said there is more than 30 acres of property remaining in the airpark.

"You have to take the first step before you can take the second," Pennington said..
