MVM Technologies, a private firm that manufactures ink-jet cartridges and other goods, considered relocating to a number of states — including Arizona, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio and West Virginia — according to chief executive Dan Loyer. Instead, the company chose the Washington Highlands neighborhood of Southeast Washington, in Ward 8. Though the company has only nine employees, it expects to open a facility manufacturing ink-jet cartridges, medical devices and sensors in a former city school building, P.R.
