Having worked for some of NY's major manufacturers and watched them, one by one--GM, IBM, GE, Bristol Meyers, New Process Gear, Carrier, etc., etc., etc.--move out of the state or reduce their operations to next to nothing, I will confidently predict that Remington will move all or most of their manufacturing South, level the physical plant (as Carrier did to reduce taxes) and donate as much of the uncontaminated land as they can to the city of Illion. Based on NY's extremely high costs of doing business here--electricity, taxes, and regulations --all highest in the nation, it simply makes no sense to continue operations here when you have a much lower cost of production facility in the South. Couple that with your home state declaring part of your product line illegal. What smart businessman would stay?
