The buildings across the highway used to be occupied by a major employer (about 600 employees making upwards of $30/hr). Now there are about six companies using less than half of the space to employ maybe 40 people, tops (at $12 or less), and the work is seasonal at best. <br />What's sad is the two largest private employers in the area are hospitals. The overall largest, now, is government (feds, state, county [going broke], and cities [also short on funds]), who're cutting back, too.
