High tech California jobs do that as did manufacturing jobs w got scared of and shipped our\t of the country.
Huh? Wanna try that again?

If we're talking about a semiconductor fab, there are very few manual labor jobs; lots of skilled operator and technician jobs. A large fab will also attract support businesses (wafer equipment service, industrial gases and chemicals, not to mention restaurants, hotels, etc. supporting either full time employees or visitors).

I lived in Sherman from 1963 to 1974 finally moving to Plano. Sherman was a small-town

with a small-town mentality. We had a Texas Instruments at that time and we had a USAF base.

The base shut down and TI in Sherman reduced in size. The population in the 60s was about 25K,

and 35K in 2000. In the 60s we still had white-only establishments and the change was slow.

I believe with the coming commercialization of the area Sherman and Denison will grow

quickly.

I was speaking generally as I am not aware of the split of job types predicted with this new plant. I am saying these are great jobs paid for by new money coming into their employer from global sales or at least nation wide sales.

Yes, in 40 years Sherman and Denison (the Birthplace of Eisenhower), will be part of the Metroplex.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how both cities look in the coming years.
