Marijuana.
For an example, look at the Canadian town of Smiths Falls. The Hershey's chocolate factory closed in 2008. It was a painful loss for the town, a major industry just gone.
Now "Tweed" a Marijuana growing company had taken over the space. They've been hiring at a tremendous rate, and even are planning an expansion to the factory, with even more jobs to come. Seriously, even the battered housing market is picking up again.
It's not an opportunity that will last forever, but the companies that capitalize on it have to opportunity to make a mint and a whole pile of happy workers in the process.
