The town is tiny with a population of 652 people. Seems like a perfect scenario for the company: setup plant in small town to employ cheap labor, be the largest employer in the town, use that leverage to prevent action taken against them. I can hear it now... "Now hold on here, we can't go shutting down the largest employer of registered voters in town. I personally spoke to the plant manager and they assured me they are committed to fixing the issues. Plant stays open." - The Mayor
