Industrial Social Entrepreneurship

I`ve enjoyed browsing this website for some time and it really has some valuable resources for a small business owner. This may not be the place to post this, but has anyone ever heard of industrial social entrepreneurship? I live in a southern rural area that has been decimated by the loss of the textile industry and didn`t know if anyone knew of any resources on how to find larger businesses that are expanding or relocating. Our county has had the highest unemployment rating in the state for a couple of years now and I would like to do something to help. Unfortunately, I can only employ a few people in my business. Has anyone ever heard of any social entrepreneurs trying to help poorer areas by relocating or expanding businesses there? I know I`ll probably take some flak for posting this here but it`s a serious question and I would love to hear if any of you have any advice or resources on this matter. Thanks!

about making the area attractive? Probably not. So...take the job into
your own hands, get some additional support, and take the initiative.
If few other business owners have an interest, that`ll tell you why no
large industries are interested either.
