Looks as if our Governor is wooing some good businesses.
There used to be a major firearms industry in Stamford, as I recall. One of those huge brick buildings that stand empty all over New England. Not sure if there’s anything much left there now, other than gun dealers.
But Stamford is one of Connecticut’s formerly industrial cities, which went over to office buildings for insurance executives and the like, but now consists largely of slums. Largely a stay-stay-on-the-freeway sort of town.
But I haven’t driven through there for ten or fifteen years.
Whole lot of bid ness moving to the South.
COLUMBIA (Missouri) — The cities of Hallsville and Centralia and their state legislator are pushing to attract gun manufacturers to Boone County.
Hallsville Mayor Cheri Reisch said she would "roll out the welcoming mat" to a gun manufacturer that was interested in moving to the county. She highlighted a specific 120 acre site that she said is "shovel ready."
Reisch is part of a growing chorus of mid-Missouri elected officials who are pitching the benefits of doing business in the state to gun companies interested in relocating from states that have passed new gun restrictions.
Hallsville has sent letters to manufacturers in states that Reisch said have become less desirable to gun companies.
A 120 acre site that is "shovel ready" , the first of many incentives to relocate in Missouri?

This state doesn't need any help losing jobs. They do just fine all by themselves.
Good PR for Texas y’all. Hope all the blue state gun mfg. move to Texas, Austin needs them.
Which they will believe in all sincerity, that it's the free states' duty to backfill via federal taxes. Morons.
