I know that could be a 65k addition would be a huge deal but that is 6,500 added per year. The current economic improvements cover a good number of that prediction.
Austal alone will add 2k+ workers... TK still hasn't even met half capacity as of yet... any EADS location along with ancillary business would bring 6-8k. The container port is about to add two more cranes (on which nothing has been reported) thus expanding traffic capacity... this adds warehousing and logistics jobs... also the unnamed "international" project yet to be showcased... and I'm sure there's more to come.

You hit a hot button with me. Tell me more about the two cranes...this I had not heard. If you know about the container port you might know something about the intermodal facility. We really need someone close to the port to tell us what is happening. Speak SouthSky
