"Cabela’s employs roughly 2,000 of the 6,800 people who live there, but the HEADQUARTERS would move to Springfield, Missouri — Bass Pro’s home — once the deal closes."

good point lets think about it like this we have 4500 workers in Sidney and you have a company valued around 5500 million in Sidney. Therefore if we went to the council and said how about discussing Cabela's at the council meeting it is valued at over a million dollars for each working person in the labor force in Sidney . I was thinking maybe stating it this way that 4500 workers in city for a company valued at 5500 million dollars. With this information we can go to the council and asked the council to spend as much time on a company valued in excess of 1 million dollars for each worker living in Sidney as they do on the stray cat problems, the dogs going to the bathroom on the soccer fields, rather the ex police chief will double as a body guard at the pool if a police station is built close my, if we can sat up cameras across from the proposed adult video and clothing store to video people going in the store, the old cars parked around down, the truck parking problem. I doubt they will but it might be worth a try. You will probably get the major saying we have others issues tonight to talk about thank you for your input.
Keep in mind at least 35% of that 6,800 are retirees or children. So there are only 4500 residents that are in the work force, so if there were originally 2,000 Cabela's jobs...close to 40% would be eliminated You also have to imagine that there's going to be a high failure rate of small businesses (especially in the service industry)
Keep in mind the DC counts as Sidney...so BP could keep that open and close corp all together.
Headquarters will be in Springfield stated on SEC filing from October.
Yea, that's been said since day one. What's new about this? Only statement made by BPS was that "meaningful operations" would remain in SIDNEY. Not news that the head quarters will be in MO.
