Didn't mean to compare Remington to BassPro.  Manufacturing to retail sales.  You're right.  You can't compare the two.

 

My following comments are rhetoric.  Not really asking for an answer, just question I think about. 

 

My comparison was apples to apples.  When they offer basically the same thing, why does BP require incentives while Cabela's [locating in Madison County] does not?  I mean not to the extent BP does like the gift of land, etc, etc.

 

You remember one of the conditions for BP/Sweetwater to locate in Florence was that they wanted Veteran's Park.  Wanted it or they would look elsewhere!  Florence pretty much said KMA. 

 

So then they wanted Decatur/Morgan/Madison to give them land there near 65/565 and oddly enough, the same name Sweetwater.  Failed again with land owners and developers pointing fingers at one another though governmental entities were standing there with blank checks.

 

No telling how much $$ pizzed away so far on BassPro with zero results.
