From the Editor: Urban Slowdown
Along these lines, many city in-plants plan to do more insourcing to help them get by. Cincinnati’s in-plant, for example, plans to approach smaller communities to help them with their printing needs. Likewise, Virginia Beach’s in-plant intends to insource from local towns and schools.
Some city in-plant managers felt budget cuts in other departments might actually help them, forcing customers to steer more work to the in-plant to save money. Others looked at the work slowdown as an opportunity to take care of long-neglected maintenance and reorganization projects.
