Huy Fong Sriracha Controversy [wikipedia]:
The City of Irwindale offered a low interest loan to Huy Fong Foods in 2010 to locate its sriracha factory in Irwindale.
Huy Fong took the loan and contributed $250,000 a year to the city as part of the deal.
Huy Fong built a $40-million factory planned to generate about $300 million a year in sales.
Shortly after Huy Fong paid off the loan early and stopped contributing to the city, Huy Fong became involved in lawsuits brought by its neighbors and the city of Irwindale, who complain of the odors of jalapeño pepper and garlic generated by the plant.
And there, in a few short words, is the heart of the matter.
They should come to Redmond. The odor of garlic and peppers would make a nice counterpoint to the hops smell from the Mac n’Jack Brewery in the next building..
