Manufacturing

== CAMBRIA COUNTY SITE picks up GAMESA MANUFACTURING FACILITY==
Governor Rendell announced that the Spanish wind-energy company Gamesa Corp. will base its manufacturing facility for wind turbine generator blades in Ebensburg, Cambria County. The opening of the plant will create as many as 500 construction and operations jobs, including 236 permanent high-paying manufacturing positions.
How is it that Ebensberg is beating Pittsburgh for these jobs?
==In Pittsburgh, we build stuff.== 
Or, we did build stuff in the past.
We have expertise, engineers, scholarship, facilities and potential. We need to work harder to make a better landscape to build upon our legacy of manufacturing.
== Pittsburgh has slipped to a service economy.==
Our mode of operations has shifted away from the crafts and building of valued materials. We used to be the place to come to get the materials for building wealth and equity. Now Pittsburgh is a service based location that's with a heavy tax burden. 
== Pittsburgh needs to service itself.==
One of Pittsburgh's most famous exports is our quarterbacks. We have produced great, talented leaders on the gridiron who have played quarterback. 
In this campaign, we need to focus on ways of building our kids. We need to provide service to the youth. 
All too often, we raise our kids and have them move away from the city. We need to build, grow and service the talents, scholarship and experiences for our children, teens and young adults. We need them to have and understand value, euqity and prosperity. And, we need them to have roots within our landscape so that they don't depart so easily and frequently.
