“With great fanfare, a Chinese polysilicon factory broke ground on 67 acres here in 2007. So what if the company wanted breaks and concessions? The decision by the city to buy the land and lease it back almost free seemed like a bargain at $1.4 million, given the potential payoff. Now, 18 months after shutting completely, the factory, which was to produce materials used in solar panels, stands ghostly and silent.

Wooden crates of equipment, some never opened, sit stacked where they were left, like time capsules from a lost world.”
