Wilmington (Newport, former GM Plant)

When GM left its Newport plant in Delaware for good over a decade ago, gone went what were for generations solid, high-paying blue collar jobs. At its height, the plant employed over 5,000 people - in the gigantic, 3.8 mil sq. ft facility.
Well -- there have been lots of plans, and failures to replace the shuttered GM plant, but it looks like the State has finally found a suitor.

This article nicely details the history, failures and future - a "Next Gen" 5-story logistics center.
