Another factory NYC didn’t get |
|
|
Posted by Peter Rosa on Wed Jul 2 12:11:07 2025 Hyundai’s “Metaplant” EV and battery factory complex in Georgia, about 25 miles from Savannah. Construction began in late 2022 and production began two years later (how’s that Second Avenue Subway doing?) There’s a total of 16 million square feet of floor space and 8,000 jobs. It’s also a big boost to rail as most of the production ships on auto racks through new sidings.Meanwhile Floyd Bennett Field is just sitting there, economically worthless. Even the sports center that occupied some of the old buildings went bust. But no, New Yorkers are too sophisticated for (ick!) factories. |

NYC has a massive workforce, there probably are more people within ten miles of Floyd Bennett Field than within 100 miles of the Hyundai plant. |

NYC has a somewhat higher unemployment rate than the rest of the country, 4.8% vs. 4.4% or something like that, so finding 8,000 qualified workers would be easy. |

It would be a great idea to get a factory with the ruling elite being AOC and Zo'. What could possibly go wrong?Other than the worker issue, the fact that people want experiences and not things, and all the other problems. |
