What Can Carbondale Do?
Rhetorical question from a reader:
We have good health care, low land cost, somewhat easy access via rail, hwy, air, I don't know how energy costs compare, decent internet infrastructure (in town), a large variety of things for "quality of life" in employees off-time and proximity to St. Louis, memphis, nashville, springfield, Evansville metro areas... I think we've got access to a fairly higher educated workforce with the presence of SIU and JALC. All pluses...
So, what does Carbondale need to do to get something like this [link below] perhaps in the Business Park (east, reed station rd.. Isn't that area is developed to be wired? I'm 98% sure that somebody had redundant fiber runs to the park from both north and south, I saw the south run dug as I drive old 13 every day)?
How about this Job Change for Furniture Makers, Courtesy of Google?
or this?

ACS had good run with a data center but their contracts didn't continue.

There are no adult workers here for those companies to hire. Taxes are high. Workman's comp in out of sight! If you were going to plop down a big job creating facility, why would you do it here instead of Tenn or KY? Have you looked at the K-12 test scores?
If Southern Illinois doesn't create businesses locally, nothing is going to happen. You just aren't going to attract a business from outside the area to magically make it all better.
