Watch the chit hit the fan when NY fills the old plant with illegals.

Seems like they can fit a lot in there. According to reports the site has almost a million square feet of building space.

Not pretending to be an efficiency expert but they only had 270 employees. Having 3,700 square feet per employee seems a little excessive!

I believe I read it that Remarms bought the site for only $16 million. Not too bad for a million square foot factory with equipment and employees. But I know you could pay a lot less now.

Voted with their feet...

Same thing happened in MD when they raised the top tier of personal taxes. They lost 9 of 11 fortune 500 companies and $1.4 Billion (with a B) in tax revenue, just for being greedy.

Suck it NY!!

"The company has been making firearms in Ilion since 1816 and, according to Fox 5, the factory has been around in some form since 1828."

Probably qualifies as a Super Fund site.

You know what cracks me up about all this is the very union people that are being put out of a job are the very same ones that campaign and donate to the people, democrats, that forced the plant to move. They literally voted themselves out of a job. Stupid is as stupid does.

So another New York town of working people becomes part of the Rust Belt.
