Where's the Beef

A few years back there was talk of brining a turkey processing plant to Aberdeen.  For lots of reasons the plant went to Huron.  Now there is talk of a beef processing plant in town.  That would go along witht he Super Wal-Mart and, I understand, an expanded Target.  Some voices in Aberdeen once again are complaining about the price of progress.  The same people probably complain about the exodus of young people from our area.  I say bring on the new businesses and opportunities.  A solid economy is built on a firm foundtion.  No one thinks these kinds of ventures are where an economy should end, but they might be where an economy starts.
