[Bigfoot 327]

Remington Firearms announced today that it was moving it's HQ from Ilion, NY. to LaGrange, Georgia. They intend to invest $100 million in a new manufacturing and research facility. They plan on hiring 586 employees over 5 years. No word on what their plans are for the factory and employees in NY.

Sucks for the employees... probably  a sound bussiness  decision for the company .

Don't blame them at all. This state is doing nothing but hurting there business. Should have left this shit hole long ago.

I believe the employees at the Ilion plant are ok

NY once had a rich tradition of manufacturing and especially so with firearms manufacturing, names like Ithaca, Lefever, Baker, LC Smith, Savage, Kahr, ATI, Fox, Parker, Newton, all in the past and now looking like Remington the USA's oldest gun maker will be gone also. I hate to see them go but I do wish them the best and a successful transition.

Over the past few decades manufacturing in general has been going down the shitter in this state.
