Bad news about manufacturing in the USA
The Real Direction of U.S. Manufacturing : Industrial Market Trends: "since 1980, manufacturing construction -- that is the building of new plants and the expansion of existing plants -- has fallen from 10% of total nonresidential construction to 2%."
After two years, we still remain the only manufacturer in our new industrial development. In the next couple years in nearby Grand Rapids, Steelcase will be basically be leaving a whole block vacant. This is major stuff!
