This year has proven to be a refinance haven.  The interest rates still remain low.  SBJ indicated jobs closing; however, the most recent 'good' news is the announcement of a new 400,00 SF distribution center located near Republic.  It will employ 400 workers with the average annual salary of $34,000.  This building sits on 132 acres with great access to I-44.  This off sets the recent announcements of the closings of of Aaron's Automotive (184 workers) and Trinity Industries with 228 workers.  Fed Ex is also building a large center on the west side of Springfield.  It is unknown if or how many workers will be added.

Nationally, the economy still is considered critical.
