Im happy. Now if this towns town's leadership would just leave the tranquil parts of old Springfield alone. No further developement in natural areas. Develope on existing major throughfares. And lets strive #1 priority, to bring in heavy manufacturing. WE have the highwzy and rail structure. Lets try autombile steel products semiconductors. Springfield residents deserve 40 dollar hr + benefits jobs. Mayor and council quit catering to the low balling families that try to run this town. Council you wonder why we have a brain drain here. Its because of low paying service oriented jobs.

You realize, to bring in large manufacturing, requires a lot of space for those buildings, lots of space isn't had in town, so they will need to take "natural space' as you put it and develop it into buildings, parking, roads, etc.

Just pointing out you can't have high economic drive, especially in manufacturing without urbanizing.

Springfield probably doesn't have the educational base for this. It's no longer just welding pieces together. A lot of manufacturing requires advanced skills in subjects like math and engineering.
