Local Economic News

Most of economic news reported today seems to be bad, home foreclosures, plant closings, layoffs and high gas prices. However there is also good news to report. In our local economy there is a new automotive transmission plant being built by Chrysler just outside of Tipton Indiana. We had the opportunity to watch the “Flying Wasp” pick-up and set heavy components on top of the building. The helicopter made short work of 90 trips. It was amazing to watch. The History Channel was on location filming the event for a future episode of Modern Marvels “the Mega Movers”. We would like to thank Kelly, Dave and Jim for the photos.
