Haworth to add 500 jobs at its Holland campus by next year, after closing Calgary plant

"The plant consolidation will eliminate 600 jobs at the Calgary plant. Haworth will keep 100 workers there in its showroom and offices.
Today, Michigan's Economic Growth Authority was expected to approve a 13-year, $22.4 million tax incentive deal to underwrite the move."

This is the perfect reason why our state is bankrupt!
No competitive company will be able to compete with Haworth in Michigan so every new job will go to other states or countries.

And our state needs corporate tax dollars yet we are forgoing them ($22.4 million) to play this charade of future jobs.

We're doomed.... until we wake up.....
