24 to 12 machines
Newport gone to Winston Salem
Minor brands coming in
Inferior, un-used machinery
being replaced as superior first tier production infrastructure
is boxed up and transported out of Greensboro's facility
It wasn't the employees or the mechanical assets,
but the brand
Newport is gone, along with the profitability
which supported high unionized wages
Reidsville operations in jeopardy as well
Greensboro's tax base is fucked without the revenue
to support the property tax income
We have been sold a bridge
by our local non-investigatory, sold out media outlets
and our elected leadership and their financial supporters
who suck out everyone else's money from City slush funds
