Is this the big news??  Seems like a lot of work for 100 employees.  If we have to bring in the Governor to help entice logistics companies, that doesn't say much for the CAPITAL OF LOGISTICS or whatever we claim to be.

PLS wasn't the potential company being referred to in the article from a couple of days ago.

I don't think Scott came in physically for this (more conference call stuff)...but I do think he came to town to meet with the potential headquarters relocation corporation.

Saft moving from the metropolis of Valdosta to Jacksonville with their 7 employees in tow. How does this rate front page coverage? Are Mallot and his bumbling twin Lee paying the Times Union for placement these days? That was a joke!
And, that $115 will save Jacksonville from financial ruin. - Mayor John Peyton

I assume the new $200 million dollar plant employing 300 people is the bigger story.

That is old news, that was announced months ago. The news that 7 people are moving from Valdosta to Jacksonville to move the GALAXY HQ of SAFT to Jacksonville was so riveting, I could hardly contain myself when I read my paper today.

To me the good news is that with the HQ here that future expansion would likely be here as well.

Saft, whose global headquarters is in Paris, won a $95.5 million federal grant and another $20.2 million in state and city financial incentives to build the 235,000-square-foot plant. The corporate headquarters relocation does not involve any additional incentives.

Is this corporate welfare?  Is there a french blog site discussing the loss of jobs to america?
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Yes, it is corporate welfare and should not have happened.

So... "corporate welfare" and "incentives" is simply a matter of perspective?
