[QUOTE="Raoul Duke, post: 2275463, member: 27529"] About damn time!: [URL="http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20130821/BUSINESS/308210031/Gunmaker-Remington-looking-leaving-New-York-state"]http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20130821/BUSINESS/308210031/Gunmaker-Remington-looking-leaving-New-York-state[/URL] [I]One of the nation’s largest gun manufacturers, Remington Arms, has looked at sites around Nashville, Tenn., for a potential relocation or expansion that would likely move hundreds of manufacturing jobs out of New York state. People familiar with Remington’s exploration of sites said the company looked around the Nashville area as recently as within the past month. The time frame for the search is unclear; a call to a company spokeswoman wasn’t returned. Earlier this year, lawmakers from several states including Michigan, South Carolina, Arizona, Oklahoma and Texas also made pitches to woo Remington. In addition to the New York plant, Remington also has plants in Lonoke, Ark. (a five-hour drive from Nashville), and in Mayfield, Ky. (a two-hour drive from Nashville). It also has a technical and research center in Elizabethtown, Ky., which is also about two hours from Nashville. The company also has distribution operations in Memphis managed by a third-party company. A plant between Nashville and Clarksville would put Remington closer to those operations in Kentucky. In Middle Tennessee, firearms maker Barrett already has 100 employees at its headquarters and manufacturing plant in Murfreesboro. And the National Rifle Association booked Nashville’s Music City Center convention hall for its 2015 annual convention with about 5,000 delegates[/I] [/QUOTE]
