Move out where? The City is short on industrial land as it is, and it would have to be a pretty hefty price tag to relocate a factory. For instance, factory relocation didn't work out so well for the local Schneiders workforce. As an aside, Clemmer Manufacturing (formerly Waterloo Manufacturing) is also nearby on Albert Street.
