A crew of 20 people at 15 bucks an hour for a year or so to "clean up the mess". A unionized construction crew of over 1000 for three years, plus the hundred plus salaried/well-paid hourly jobs for the new plant.

No comparison.

It's going to take a brigade and heavy equipment and all kinds of transport and God knows what else to tear that sucker down and clean it up and restore it to greenfield. There will be so many jobs the hotels will be full of workers and the businesses will flourish.

Lets see...  what you are saying is that all the local contractors are overpriced so they aren't competitive.  I can understand that fully.
