    MJH,
    You buddy Scott at CCW is asking for private/public assistance.
    http://www.clevelandcyclewerks.com/blog/

    "Cleveland CycleWerks is seeking help from the public and private sectors with establishing our assembly plant in Cleveland Ohio. We love our city are trying to bring more manufacturing back to Cleveland. We are looking for:
    1. Investors.
    2. Grant Writers for seeking private / public funding.
    3. Property owners who have space available and are open to assembly operations.
    4. Cooperation from City, County and Federal officials. Possibly land bank property that may be available to us.
    5. Community support: If you see this post pass it on, spread the word, the next great American Motorcycle Company is ready to take on the world with assembly in Cleveland Ohio!!!"

    I believe it would require a white paper, before anything else.

    In that it would likely reveal the costs per unit goes up with any part being domestic and then the retail price beyond what is already high?

    Unless the factory was communal?
    Who wants to read the white paper?

    Remember the old factory towns....

    It's all a matter of costs per unit and competitiveness.

    MJH,
    Does your answer mean that you are not investing in CCW?

    I think it's more likely the parts will be imported (keeping them less expensive) and then assembled (not manufactured) in Ohio. I think it's a smart move esp. in regards to dealing with some frustrating regulatory sticky tape.

    As long as you have people willing to do work for something they love... then some work will get done. Quality is the name of the game.
