Good Evening ,
This sound like a strange idea. This has been on my mind and heart for several years. We have a homeless and drug issue in our small city . My idea is to create a very small manufacturing facility in the inner city . The reason I thought of this is to pull people out of a poverty and drug addicted state to once again build something, build good relationships, learn to help others, etc.
I know several years ago ,I was asked to stop at a facility to look at a machine that would not run. It was in a small business park. When I walked in they only had 2 packaging machines . This operation was just taking the kool aid powder , and filling the kool aid envelopes. Simple operation. The problem was a safety relay .I fixed it ,and up and going again.
My thoughts are to have a receptionist ( learning these skills ) , a plant manager ( learning those skills ) , Machine Operators ( Learning those skills ) , etc.
My question is , do you know of any small business / manufacturing opportunities that are available , that larger business's no longer want to be bothered with , but are a safe investment for a community.
I know it's a crazy idea .
Thanks in advance , and have a good week.
