What Are We Going To Do With That?!

As a follow-up to a post from the other day, as seen here http://magiccoalcity.blogspot.com/2009/02/boral-brick-too-big.html , here's more support that Boral bricks built way too big of a facility:

WIN Energy certainly rolled out the red carpet for them, while the story denotes use of methane gas from a nearby landfill & shale from a local coal mine:

As did the Vigo County Council with a 10-year abatement:

With incentives and breaks like this, surely they’ll keep the place open, yet I did find this article about another brick maker, which is not so optimistic about the plant there:

If they do completely shut-down Boral in Vigo forever, what does the community do with a facility as humongous & single-purpose as that?
