on hiring hundreds more in the next few years. New employees come to us with a strong work ethic, initiative, knowledge, skills and in many cases practi- cal manufacturing experience. Workers who understand, ap- preciate and are interested in manufacturing are increasingly hard to find in many areas of the country. A company is only as good as its employees and we are very happy that Northeast Pennsylvania offers workers so positively inclined towards manufacturing. Beyond these reasons, the re- gion offers many benefits yet to be realized. Transportation of rawmaterials by rail to our new factory in larger bulk quantities may provide cost efficiencies far beyond what trucking pro- vides. The Scranton Area offers such transportation options, and we've begun preliminary exploration of possible rail line extensions to our facility. Also, the area abounds with institutions of higher educa- tion. Through internships, graduate recruiting, or produc- tion and logistics joint projects, local 2-year and 4-year univer- sities and colleges will surely play a future role in Crystal Windows’ growth and success. Northeast Pennsylvania stands in stark contrast to New York City, which has in- numerable direct and indirect costs of doing business. Taxes, regulations, mandates, fees, tolls, and other costs that come with manufacturing in New York City challenge us daily. Things like high local sales taxes, municipal income taxes on employees, restrictive and unnecessary labor mandates, exorbitant bridge tolls and unrelenting traffic congestion are the straws that broke the camel's back and contributed to Crystal's decision to expand in the Greater Scranton area, and not in New York City. All the advantages Northeast Pennsylvania offers reflect a region with an extremely supportive business climate and one especially focused on manufacturing. These regional attributes are important to promote. Manufacturing and other industrial businesses forced out of rising cost met- ropolitan areas like NY and Philadelphia, or states like CT and NJ, are seeking new loca- tions with just such a support- ive business climate. Crystal Windows is delighted to have chosen Northeast Pennsylvania and is enthusiastic that other manufacturers make the same great choice!
