• e-mail

The nation's oldest gunmaker, Remington, 確認するd it will shut its 大規模な 小火器 factory this month in Ilion, New York, and 長，率いる to Georgia - leaving entire families without work and the town's 市長 searching for answers.

Eliphalet Remington (1)偽造する／(2)徐々に進むd his first ライフル銃／探して盗む バーレル／樽 in the village of Ilion in 1816 and over the next two centuries, his 商売／仕事 grew into a 1 million square feet factory with thousands of 従業員s.?

But in December, the 現在の Remington owners, RemArms, 明らかにする／漏らすd it was moving 操作／手術s to gun-friendly Georgia?and making 270 people redundant. The 市長 確認するd this week the move will happen this month.

With a 全住民 of just 7,600, the factory has long been the town's main 雇用者 and 市長 John Stephens worries about Ilion's 即座の 未来.?

'It's gonna be 堅い for a little while,' Stephens said. 'The 地元の 商売／仕事s are definitely going to see a little bit of a downtick. But again, 300 versus 1,500. It's a little bit easier to swallow, but it still doesn't make things any easier.'

Stephens - who has 自白するd 以前 that 歳入 losses from the 終結 may be as 広大な／多数の／重要な as $1 million - said coming up with a 予算 for the next 12 months may be the greatest challenge he 直面するs without the factory.?

'This year, we're going to be very, very stringent,' he told Fox News but 公式文書，認めるd that he and his 閣僚 were going to make it work.?

'It's going to be very tight. But when we started o ur 予算 過程, which we're just winding up...we started out with a 30 パーセント 税金 増加する, if we had to cover everything that we were going to lose.'?

'And through the hard work of myself, the village board and our village treasurer, we're looking at something between two and three per cent as a 税金 増加する, and that's without cutting any services,' he 追加するd.?

Stephens said? his 居住（者）s are quick to 非難する New York 明言する／公表する's 自由主義の leaders, who have led the 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 in passing anti-gun 法律s, but while they 株 some of the 非難する, that doesn't paint the entire picture.

'Do I think that New York's political 気候 is 部分的に／不公平に the 推論する／理由? Yeah. Yeah, I do. But I think that's probably the … lesser of the 推論する／理由s. The folks that 現在／一般に own RemArms made a 商売／仕事 決定／判定勝ち（する）,' he said.?

'And some of their 推論する／理由s were 位置／汚点／見つけ出す on, some of them I don't agree with. The factory is definitely probably inefficient for 生産／産物 nowadays,' Stephens 認める.

He's still asking 民主党員 知事 Kathy Hochul to work with them to help save the town.

Stephens said it feels like the village is 'losing its 身元'

'I need the 知事 to know. I need our 郡, our 明言する／公表する and our 連邦の elected 公式の／役人s - who are all aware - I just need them to know that we need 財政上の 援助. Next year is probably going to be the toughest year because it'll be the first 十分な year, 予算 year, without that 歳入,' he said.?

Stephens said no 事柄 what happens, he and the people of Ilion will remain 確固たる and 上昇傾向.

'We have to remain 肯定的な here and not just in Ilion, but in this entire 地域. We have to be 肯定的な that we're going to be able to attract 商売／仕事s to 利用する that 施設,' he said.?

'And again, it might be one large 商売／仕事, it might be a couple dozen smaller 商売／仕事s that can 利用する the space. And that's our goal, and I'm 楽観的な and I'm working every day to 遂行する that.'?

Speaking to DailyMail.com a few weeks ago, he said: ''It's like the town is losing its soul. It's almost like losing a family member.?That's the thing that people are struggling with, the nostalgia, the history. It feels like we are losing the 身元 of the town.'?

His own father worked at the 工場／植物 for 37 years and raised four children on a Remington paycheck.

'There are people that are 100 years old in this village and it's all they've ever known.?Ilion is Remington and Remington is Ilion,' he told DailyMail.com.

He also worries about the building sitting empty, 説: 'It's just going to 悪化する over time and then I have an abandoned factory that's 落ちるing into itself.'?

Stephens believes those who are made redundant will be able to find work as there are 'plenty of 職業s 利用できる.'

But that may come as little 慰安 to those left in the lurch - with some entire families losing their 職業s in one 攻撃する，衝突する.?

One of those is furnace 操作者 and 専門家技術者 Frank 'Rusty' Brown who said the move is a '二塁打-攻撃する，衝突する' for him and his wife with the two of them out of a 職業.

He said: 'My mom worked there. My dad worked there. My wife 作品 there with me now.?My daughter 作品 there with me now. My second daughter 作品 there with me now. And my son-in-法律 作品 there.'
