Duluth gets assurance that Cirrus will stay
"When news of Cirrus Aircraft’s sale to a Chinese company broke last winter, its officials said not to worry: The Duluth-based airplane maker’s plant and its jobs would stay in Duluth."

thats good for duluth minneosita as they need the jobs
I have toured the factory. It is amazing how those things are put together, or rather baked. Awesome facility in my favorite city in the US! I hope they keep their word.
This is standard business tactic. "not a binding legal document" is the operative phrase. A commitment from the Communist Chinese isn't worth the paper it's written on. These jobs will be gone as soon as is feasible for the Chinese.
I am from Northeastern MN. The Chinese - and Indians - have invested heavily in our part of the country updating our mining industry and providing a market in this struggling economy. It's nice to have this assurance when American companies such as Delta and Polaris have closed bases/plants to ship the jobs overseas.
Harsh rhetoric there, Dennis. Considering most of the goods we buy are made by the "Communist Chinese."
