That'd be 5% . . . or 10 employees, not 10%.

I can see the bulk of that happening in staff to maintain 1 building versus the 5 they currently use.

Sorry for the guys getting laid off, but this seems like otherwise VERY positive news:

"a single, new 163,000-square-foot factory that would be constructed on a 15-acre parcel in the East Troy Business Park."

The fact that they're moving from 5 leased buildings into a new building has to be good news. I assume they'll own the new facility?

I heard the new place is where they will build the 1125 Ulysses with ABS.

Oh NO!!! don't tell me that they are moving away from Buell Drive?

Now with the new building where it will all be under one roof, will we get to see the R & D Department when we visit the plant at future Homecomings?

>>>I assume they'll own the new facility?

No, they will lease it. They will outgrow it by xxxxx,

It will be on Buell Drive.

Would you like some photos of the current R&D Department. Remind me to tell you a funny story sometime. : )
