What value does the Cairo area bring to a potential employer? No workforce, highly skilled or otherwise. No infrastructure to speak of, well developed or otherwise. Basically any corporation that moved in would have to turn the place into an old-school company town, at massive cost. We live in an era where factories are closed in the US and opened in Canada because GM doesn't have to pay for the canadians health insurance, and yet someone thinks that there is going to be some kind of 'boom' to save places like this?
