The more I think about this, the more I think the old model should be done again.
Build company towns. I’m sure Texas, AZ and a couple other western states have legislatures to ram the laws through. Get several related businesses together and do it. One for Colt, One for the others. Spread around.
Make them attractive to build with tax and environmental exceptions. And watch them boom.
No need. Almost every town in Texas has a nicely set-up industrial park just waiting for this kind of thing. Here in Denton we have businesses looking every day. We just moved back to Texas in July and since then they’ve got a Target and Aldi warehouse and numerous other companies.
I grew up in West Allis, Wisconsin. A ‘Company Town’ built for the Milwaukee workers at Allis-Chalmers. My Dad and both Grandpas worked there. I learned a stellar work ethic from those men; it has served me well.
You remember those days - back when America used to BUILD SH!T, MAKE MONEY, the Private Sector could PROVIDE JOBS and we could GET THINGS DONE! ;)
