"The Western Kentucky region will soon be hit with all sorts of 'carpet baggers' who will come to the area and promise to do great things with the Wickliffe mill site. Many of them will come to fleece the state and the region for funds to rejuvenate the mill and restore the high paying jobs. Politicians and economic development professionals will want to believe them and will fork over millions of dollars in tax money to them to restore the former glory of the mill. These people will structure their operations in such a way, that after a year or two they will manage to leave with your money and leave you holding the bag."
