You mean where the TBR people have called for stronger oversight of FUTURE ITEP grants?

If the company was planning some expansion at the plant, was counting on ITEP for the expansion, and decided to not even try for the ITEP, and with no expansion, the plant no longer makes sense to keep going as it is, then you might have a point.

That's a lot to consider.

Industrial companies get leaner as we go along. If this is a small plant in their system and a bigger plant can handle all the work, that's an easy decision to make.
