Honestly not enough information, to give an honest opinion on what it would take to move her manufacturing here?
However I read this the other day from Steve Lamar, and because of where I live I know he is lying, I know three towns within 30 miles of me that have recently shut down several shoe factories and t-shirt factories. So the labor force is there, the buildings are there and the equipment is probably still there or in storage. The issue is they shut these factories down to move factories overseas, they don't want to open them back up or they don't want to try it is just easier to say it cannot be done and whine.
Steve Lamar, president of the American Apparel and Footwear Association, said the industry group expects to see a modest increase in U.S. manufacturing.
"We don't have the labor, skill set, materials, and infrastructure" to manufacture clothing and shoes on a large scale, Lamar said.
