[Not on the Network]-News
Today, April 4th, the Thunder Corporation President Jimmy Won publicly announced that the company had purchased the entirety of the area known colloquially as The Dead District. Rumours of the engineering firm's desire to acquire the land have been afloat for two or three months but there was no official word until the purchase took place.
The company's decision has been largely criticised as a poor move. The district has been considered unusable for some time and several companies and private individuals have attempted to make something of it to no avail. The city has refused planning permission, ostensibly due to the historical buildings within and health and safety issues regarding archaic gas and plumbing systems, although it is widely theorised that the stubborn refusal to allow development is to keep the large homeless population kept out of sight and out of mind.
Jimmy Won had this to say-
"America was built on ideals and ideas, but those can only succeed when work was done by real muscle and real machines. I have complete confidence that the city will see that to recover from the economic crisis, real change and real development is required!"
The Thunder Corporation was hit particularly hard by the economic crisis and had to sell a number of its factories. This is seen by many as part of a desperate plan to recover which is destined to fail.
((Just to make it clear, this is not actually on the network in any way. It's basically just a flavour text.))
