Having a factory close to a town will benefit both the local residents and factory in different ways. The locals will have an opportunity to improve their standards of living because the factory will create job opportunities. On the other hand, the factory will benefit from relatively cheap labor because of the readily available workforce and low cost of living. Such a factory will also help in checking rural-to-urban migration as people leave their communities in search of jobs in the urban areas. Other businesses will thrive near the factory as other people satisfy the needs of the factory workers.
