Opinion: Keep the ones you have -- submitted by Helen Hogle
PrintXcel, formerly known as Poser, is next door to Honeywell in the Marshall Industrial Park. We were saddened when news reached us Honeywell was closing its doors, being absorbed by a larger facility. Then the ax fell on us just yesterday that we too will close our doors by Christmas for the very same reason. Our livelihood will now go to Alabama or Kansas.

Marshall and Harrison County pride themselves on what a fine job they do on recruiting new businesses for this area. Well if they can't keep the ones they have why are they out recruiting? Several times management from PrintXcel approached the powers that be in an attempt to get some kind of grant or tax break to expand our facility in an effort to stay competitive and viable. We got nothing. So now here we are, looking one more business leaving the area due to lack of interest on the part of those entrusted with economic development in this area.

My question is, if they can't even keep current businesses in the nearly empty Industrial Park they already have, why on earth are they grabbing for more land out by Caddo Lake?
