'Turn to West Memphis,' City Urges Logistics World
Ward Wimbish has a message for companies thinking about moving part or all of their logistics and distribution operations to the area: West Memphis is open for business. Bolstered by a slick new Web site (www.westmemphis.com), robust infrastructure and competitive incentives, the city has launched a full-scale campaign to lure the type of commerce that helped its much larger neighbor across the river earn the tagline "America's Distribution Center." Leading the charge is Wimbish, who has served as director of West Memphis' Office of Economic Development since October. His position had been vacant for a year and half, which Wimbish said he believes hindered the city's chances of becoming a key distribution link in the global supply chain. "We've been out of the market for a while," he said.
Auto insurance without car
You might not have a car, but that doesn't mean you don't need auto insurance. Take Sandy, a Baltimore resident who occasionally rents a car but finds insurance from rental agencies cost-prohibitive. She writes in an e-mail: "I usually rent a car about twice a month for a day or a weekend, sometimes longer. The loss damage waiver offered by the car rental companies often costs as much as the rental fee - and sometimes even more. I know that many credit card agreements provide insurance coverage for car rentals, but this does not always mean full coverage. Is there a policy available from any insurance company that would provide coverage on a yearly basis for people in this situation?" .
