August 2nd: Navistar announced they
were moving production of all Monaco RV LLC motorcoaches to Wakarusa,
IN. 400 jobs will be lost in Coburg and 400 jobs gained in
Wakarusa. Towable production will remain in Coburg. Many
reasons given for the move, but seem to center on two...closer to
component manufacturers, and Indiana is giving Navistar a $2.8 million tax
break.
We still haven't heard anything about Safari and Beaver
production.
