When It Comes to Storms, Joplin Says 'Show Me'

摘要

While joplin, mo., residents would do just about anything to undo the terrifying tornado that leveled the city in 2011, killing 162, some good came after the destruction. Local TV stations benefited from people needing new automobiles, homes and furnishings, and from marketers eager to reach them. Flattened schools and hospitals have been rebuilt into dazzling facilities. "There's a new emphasis on people and companies looking to relocate to Joplin," says John Hoffman, VP and general manager of KSNF. "The medical and educational facilities are as good as anywhere."
