Members of the Labors International Union of North America (LIUNA) attended the meeting to support the proposed project, speaking passionately about the economic opportunity development projects have provided them. The supporting community from Bloomington also wore green shirts that said “Invest in Bloomington.” The consensus from these supporters was that Bloomington desperately needs infrastructure upgrades and that the project could provide jobs to the community. Howard Industrial Properties says they encourage employment from within Bloomington but have not put any official measures in place to ensure this.
