3,500 jobs
While the announcement by MPI Research of their plans for expansion and the addition of 3,500 jobs over the next five years is great news, I am wary. Very little is being mentioned about the massive tax breaks being given to MPI or if those tax breaks are conditional against the promised jobs. We've heard this before. About five years ago Pfizer was given some major tax breaks by Portage and Kalamazoo with the promise that Pfizer would maintain certain employment levels. They didn't, and as far as I know they haven't lost those tax breaks.
