[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2899992, member: 5412"] A lot of truth. ^^^^ But, some of those companies will move with the parent company. For example: Huffy bicycle built a 10 acre assembly plant in Ponca City back in the day.(closed now) Eagle Plating, and a couple of smaller support companies moved with them. They had enough business to keep them busy in their original locations, but opened a plant in Ponca. Local job shops took up the slack of those that didn't. The Plant Manager of the Eagle plating facility is now my Father in Law. Since this thread, I asked him about moving here from the NE. Turns out that he was the only person in his management group that wanted to move to Ok. He had no family where he was at, and elected to move where the new branch was going. I think that is pretty much the story. Nobody wants to move to small town USA where they don't have the amenities of the larger cities where they have their base [/QUOTE]
