Nice read in the paper about this. One question I have to ask is... Where are the jobs. Nolander said this is information he already knows. So where all the new companies if we are such a bright area??? Am I missing something?

Bright area? No no, that's a misprint, blight area is what was meant.

Coals to Newcastle. What a load of hot air. The area should have been attractive to businesses the moment the I-90/35 cloverleaf was completed.
And we wait...

Maybe if your local paper wasn't constantly printing xenophobic rants from a racist crank, you'd have a better shot at those new businesses. Maybe Randy Kehr should go talk to someone at the Fishwrap about that.

^^ Businesses stay away because of racist rants in "letters to the editor"? They don't give a rats ass about that. All they want to build is decent tax base (they're gonna play one community against another, that's just a fact) and a work force that can count over 10 without taking off their shoes.
Why would anyone want to build there anyway when you can go a few miles south and set up shop in a right to work state?

The whole "Right to Work State" argument doesn't pass the smell test, when you attempt to factor in Albert Lea's lackluster job of attracting business. Owatonna and Faribault are both in Minnesota, yet they have grown from cities with half of Albert Lea's population to thriving communities that show significant business growth. Either those cities are doing something really well, or A.L. is doing something really badly.
