I went to college in Pocatello in the ‘70s. I remember the difficulty the local government had in trying to attract occupants for the recently surplused Naval Ordinance Depot ( a WWII facility used to refurbish Naval cannons). Despite advantages such as developed infrastructure, heavy machine shop equipment, direct railroad access and nearby interstate access, getting companies to locate there was like pulling teeth.

BTW I'm glad that liberal Califoricators from Silicon Valley are loathe to relocate to the frozen North. :)

I’m glad too, even though I would be presumed one of those Californivators today. I grew up in Blackfoot, which as you know is a few miles north of there. Btw, where I live now people like me are called “trash from over the pass”. The pass was Donner if you came from the east, or Altamont if you moved here from the west. Can’ win.
