The expected failure of the Quincy hydro project has been in the news a lot lately. What hasn't been mentioned, at least not in anything I've read, is the Canadian corporation that was going to build a turbine factory in Quincy once Spring held out his City of Quincy AMEX and said, "Build me some turbines, eh."
From the QNO archives:
As part of Klingner's explanation of the city's downsized $6.6 million hydro bond which would primarily focus on using Lock and Dam 21 for power generation for the city's wastewater plant and other utilities, he said the company building the turbines is considering opening a new plant and Quincy with its centralized location could be a possible site. Klinger said the company, VLH, is building turbines in Canada and is looking for a plant in the United States as the demand is high.
I assume until we hear otherwise that it is safe to assume they still want to locate a turbine factory in Quincy, right? Right? Somebody should tell the Canadians about the slightly used manufacturing facility at 40th and Broadway for sale.

Wouldn't it just be the shitz if they came and ended up landing in Lewis or Marion County?
Considering the anti-business climate in Illinois, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see that happen. The two reasons to locate in the midwest are the quality of the workforce and the central position within the US. Both of those could be accomplished in Missouri without having the tax burden in Illinois.
