HD: Indiana Out of The Running

According to WRTV-6, Indiana is now out of the running for a Harley Davidson plant.

Harley-Davidson has announced that a Kentucky location is the only one it is considering if it relocates its York, Pa., motorcycle plant. The company earlier said that it was also looking at locations near its Kansas City, Mo., plant; in Shelbyville, Ind.; and in Murfreesboro, Tenn. The York Dispatch reported that a company statement said that Harley-Davidson representatives met with Kentucky officials this week. Harley-Davidson spokesman Bob Klein said the company is also still considering the possibility of staying in York

One wonders if the entire focus of this was to get money from PA Governor “Fast” Eddie Rendell for refurbishing the York, PA Harley Davidson plant.

  1. Indiana is a “right-to-work state”. H-D is solidly union
    Get the picture?

  2. Actually Indiana is NOT a right to work state.

    Kentucky, on the other hand, I believe *IS* a right to work state.
