The Slow Drip…Drip…

More companies moving from Illinois to neighboring Wisconsin:

A Crystal Lake, Ill., metal fabrication company is moving its operations to Kenosha County to be closer to its primary business partner, which itself moved to Wisconsin from Illinois.

The Metal Shop, which has 11 employees and plans to add a few more, plans to complete its move to Pleasant Prairie’s LakeView Corporate Park by August.

The Metal Shop will be located a mile from its largest client: Catalyst Exhibits. Catalyst Exhibits also is moving to Kenosha County and expects to complete its move next month.

“We’re coming because of Catalyst,” said Todd Swift, vice president of operations for the Metal Shop.” “We’re their sole supplier for the exhibit side of the business.

A domino effect. Apparently, neither company was large enough to warrant a sweetener from the state.

It adds up. They can tell that they weren’t wanted.

    This is absolute crap, totally impossible, and fraudulant. Can’t and didn’t happen.

    Michael Reynolds tells me so.
