717 Remington workers in Ilion face layoffs: https://www.timestelegram.com/news/2...n-face-layoffs

Not defending Remington on my end, but if they close operations in Ilion it would be pretty much the final blow to the Mohawk Valley. Wiki about Ilion:

The median income for a household in the village was $31,793, and the median income for a family was $38,203. Males had a median income of $30,069 versus $21,754 for females. The per capita income for the village was $14,264. About 14.1% of families and 17.1% of the population were below the poverty line, including 23.3% of those under age 18 and 13.9% of those age 65 or over.

It would be a blow, but there is this facility in Frankfort: https://tractorsupply.jobs/careers/distribution

Many likely go to Utica, Amsterdam or Schenectady for work as well.

I believe the Adirondack Baseball Bat factory is still in Dolgeville and Feldmeier has a facility in Little Falls.

Besides the NY malls mentioned in the article, others like parts of Great Northern Mall in Clay or parts of the Shoppingtown property in DeWitt are some that come to mind. I'm sure there are others as well.
