Bill Clinton: “You see, I think this will be very valuable in--I believe that there will be a movement, particularly of smaller scale…”

“You see, I think this will be very valuable in--I believe that there will be a movement, particularly of smaller scale, like 300 and down, manufacturing facilities back to urban areas in the next 10 years, because I think the property will be cheaper, and I think the work force will be there. And I think if you have a serious welfare- to-work effort like this, you can really make it work. Between the funds we're trying to give the cities to clean up environmentally polluted areas to make them attractive for new investments again, the so-called brownfields initiatives, and we're going to try to triple the number of these empowerment zones--I believe that you can have this story repeat itself. It's going to change your image, Mayor, with Harley-Davidson here; you're going to have to wear one of those neat jackets. [Laughter] It will be a major lifestyle change for you. [Mr. McQueen, Representative Karen McCarthy, and Gayle Hobbs, executive director, Local Investment Commission, discussed public-private partnerships and the program's benefits for the community.]”
