Pogo Factory

The Pogostick factory is an idea for restarting the local manufacturing economy, helping generate good jobs, helping people feel the joy of hard work for a just cause, and for fun.

The PROBLEM STATEMENT:  New England has a ton of old manufacturing facilities that are dormant. They are expensive to maintain and insure.  Lots of people in the area would like to do work that is physical, and mechanical, but all of that work is either gone or very exploitive.

The proposed SOLUTION: Gain access to an empty manufacturing facility. Buy a machine or two to make pogo sticks.  1 thing. Pogo sticks.  Get the steel from America. SELL the sticks at cost or give them away for free. 

This isn't a for profit business, this is just a way to connect empty buildings, bored people, and children who need physical activity and fun.

An enterprising soul might make a workout routine that uses our pogo sticks and uses it in SCHOOLS for physical education.
