This move is a pretty big deal. When will they begin to move more mfg out of Peoria? Same goes for John Deere. They have several facilities in Moline and Rock Island. They could just as easily move across the river to Iowa.
Caterpillar and John Deere are really great companies. Any state or community would be lucky to have them.

WERE lucky to have them. Deere recently announced that it is going to outsource some of the Iowa production to... China.
