Did you hear the average salary at $60,000? Sounds like I need to become an engineer!!

[csmurphy8885]

Agreed... even the assembly workers must get pretty decent wages! I can use a drill and a hammer!

[EbonyGardens]

Tight work. Maybe after I get my BA, I can work for them, the signage I'm not feelin it. That looks like some Wal-Mart signage right there.

[csmurphy8885]

lol..the blue always in innovation.. how tacky that would be!!

Good call EG! I too thought that the signage was lack-luster! You hit the nail on the head about it looking Wallymartish. Hopefully that is the not the final/approved signage for the bldg.

From this afternoon's Democrat:

"More than 50 state, local government officials and business leaders welcomed the Montreal-based company Monday during a groundbreaking ceremony in Innovation Park that kicked off the construction of its new 65,000 square foot facility."

Turbocor breaks ground

That's great! It's wonderful to hear that Tallahassee is attracting private sector jobs to the city.

[EbonyGardens]

Good job, this could be the spark for FUTURE private sector jobs to come here.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did, only a few county commissioners were directly against it.

A few? The majority were against it and that's why it was voted down. Those in favor were Depuy, Grippa and Thaell if I remember correctly.

I think this was the best Analysis of the vote breakdown:

Those voting YES on the deal:

Mayor Marks: from Miami moved here for college

Gillum: moved here for college from Miami/Gainesville

Katz: moved here after college for work from MO I think

Lightsey: moved here after college in '84 from WV

Thaell: moved here as an adult born in MA raised in NY

Grippa: from NY moved here after Law School at Tulane

Depuy: from Central Florida I believe moved here for work after Marines

Those voting NO on the deal:

Rackleff: born in Quincy school at Florida High moved away came back

Winchester: life long Leon County resident

Sauls: life long Leon County resident

Proctor: life long Leon County resident

Mustian: born Panama City, FL but childhood and adulthood here in Tallahassee

Hey Murphy!!! This one is for you buddy!!!

[csmurphy8885]

Ahh, it has become!

I love the signage! LOL, dont confuse it, they mean business!

[Florida]

I didn't get around to the back to take a picture but it looks complete. It was apparently framed in that metal stuff that I REALLY REALLY HATE! But I don't mind it so much in this remote, secluded location.

Turbocor News

A source of mine in the air conditioning industry has given me some news regarding Turbocor. It appears, according to the source, they have fired the CEO responsible for the move to the new Tallahassee Head Quarters.

Read this press release and tell me what you all think could be the reason for this restructuring. Is it good news for the company? Is it good news for Tallahassee? I have my thoughts.

Ugh. How very industrial looking it is. Though it will look much better when a semi truck pulls up to cart off several compressors. When is it supposed to open? Fall?
