Re: Janesville Assembly’ To Be Demolished

I factor in the fact that they don't need that plant any more. It's not being torn down to build a new plant, so no speculating required there. Did someone pass blame on contractors or developers? It's not about the beans... cost effectiveness... when the option of tearing down is taken opposed to retro-fit due to the latter costing 2-3x as much? And, what I meant by the American way is we are the kings of the knock down compared to around the world. All this is absolutely about the money. It was a business decision, after all.

Huge dead factories don't speak well for a city. So city hall loves to see this go. One of the articles I read were on that topic.
