They have a metric shit-ton of infrastructure, machinery and talent in Mass. They also weren't on the best financial footing for many years.
spending 125 million to move might explain some of their past financial troubles.
How so?
That's the 3 year plan.
TN, or just anywhere but here?
Possibly TN with my oldest being there.
I've never balanced a budget that big , but it seems like a ridiculous number to make a move. I'd bet it includes more bonus money for people with suit n tie than actual moving cost.
I worked at a manufacturing facility that paid $10 million to move the machine I ran down from Quebec. Management was very happy at that cost compared to the cost of buying/building a new machine.
They are in TN. I think it said 750 workers and they are loading 500 in MA. I can’t remember exactly. If you’re truly interested it was detailed in the article.
Probably costs billions to install the equipment and warehouse these days. With all the political turmoil it’s a bad investment because it will take decades to make it back. With the shift away from guns and hunting normally it’s a tough sell. I know a huge boom just came but I think most of those new shooters will end up posting on here to sell to guys like us. As a matter of fact haven’t we seen that already? Lots of .177 listing guns for sale here at crazy prices that they purchased them at and with one box of ammo through it.
I agree especially if it includes building/property acquisitions.
It's true that salaries are lower in TN. However, the cost of living is much lower in TN, and the quality of life is better too. Unleaded gas is $2.76/ gallon in my locale. No State income tax too. Land taxes are substantially lower in TN, for example, I've been paying around $2000 for county and school taxes on a small home on a 1 acre lot in the Adirondacks. Here in TN, we've got a 3 bedroom ranch with multiple outbuilding on 3.5 acres, and our combine county and schools taxes are $330 per year after a recent re-assessment (before the reassessment they were $311). No annual vehicle inspections. No license plate required for small trailers for in State usage, however I did obtain a lifetime plate for my trailer for $120. At 65 you can obtain a lifetime hunting/fishing license for like $65. No charges for taking garbage to the local "convenience" center. After moving to TN, we realized how much NYS was sucking us dry with taxes, fees, and the time it took to get vehicles inspected, etc.
That settles it in moving in with you.
We'll be neighbors...almost
You are probably spot on, unfortunately. Once I get there, I won't retreat any further. That will be my hill if I make it that long.
