Officials say an auto parts company plans to reopen a closed factory in northeastern Indiana while it is shutting down an
Ohio plant.
Continental Structural Plastics expects to spend at least $9.1 million on upgrades to the Huntington factory and perhaps
have 350 workers working there by 2012, according to The Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne.
Huntington County development director Mark Wickersham said the company expects to begin production at the plant in September.
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels was scheduled to join local leaders in an official announcement Wednesday at the factory, which
was closed two years ago by Meridian Automotive Systems.
Troy, Mich.-based Continental says in Ohio state filings that it intends to close it North Baltimore factory in October and
lay off all 214 workers.

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.

Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?

a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.

millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.
