They certainly weren’t run by companies in Uniontown OH…

Big money always triumphs. After seeing all the abandoned factories and older infrastructure not being used it just seems ludicrous to keep turning new dirt rather than just using what has already been turned.

It's probably easier and cheaper to build new instead of dealing with whatever type of remediation would be required at a closed industrial site. Hard to say what sort of pollution/contamination you could be on the hook for if you come in and try to take over a site like that. Asbestos, oil and chemical leaks/spills just to name a few.

That would make sense, but it’s not the case at all. Most commercial construction is cheaper to renovate an existing shell than ground up construction.
