Message: [QUOTE="CuseOnly, post: 885262, member: 2804"] Yes you are correct, the Manufacturing plants are all gone and 7000 employees are now down to 1400 engineers on an 82 acre campus, great job Carrier, they should be commended as India benefits from the manufacturing. I don't go over to Carrier Circle anymore because there isn't much there. Most of the buildings are knocked down in favor of a green walking area, this is great for our local economy. Doesn't change the fact that their presence here is very small compared to what it used to be. UTC does not even show up in the top 10 employers in Onondaga County much less Upstate NY, as of 2012 they were # 12. No, really, I think it's great that they design stuff here to be built overseas, 1400 jobs here, 8000 over there.
