Trane, but they are all but closed down. They cut down to 197 hourly positions/15 salaried. Their doors will close soon I suspect, as you mentioned.

Trane took a huge hit awhile back and have all but been eliminated which is a shame. The other two on the list were the 188th and Rheem.
ETA: Last year and the year before they use to have these big DC-9 airliners converted to cargo planes fly out to our airport. I talked with some of the pilots out there and turns out they were just flying all the production equipment to Mexico and Canada. You can hear the sadness in their voices because they knew that flying that production equipment away meant jobs were flying away with it. They said that they've been doing that to towns all over the country for the past two years. What a shame.

to all. My sources on the inside say Baldor is just fine, in fact some bonuses are coming out soon for the factory workers. Baldor isn't a bad place to work at at all. I know many who work there and they make bank. I also get to chat with their corporate pilots when I'm working. Good group of people all around.

A couple of the Walton grandsons are apparently working with the Ben's people to do a similar set up at an old church they recently bought off the Benonville square. It should be something really great.
I heard they paid 4 million for the property.

A Walton with a coke habit could be a glorious thing for local businesses.

went to bens with a former player last fall after one of the games. its a cool place for sure. they make some fancy drinks and charge accordingly. i was pretty hammered when we got there at 2 in the morning hah. we went down another staircase to a mancave type area and smoked some good cigars.
its basically where rich folks and coaches hang out when they want to have fun.
