Harley-Davidson to Close Down Kansas Plant Despite Pleas from Missouri Congressional Leaders
US Senators and Congressman’s last-ditch-effort to keep H-D’s Kansas plant open, to no avail
Over the last year or so we’ve reported on Harley-Davidson’s less-than-stellar sales and growth, though prior coverage doesn’t feel as heavy as the reports that came out this past week in which Harley-Davidson has officially stated that it will be following-through on its intentions to shutdown its current Kansas City plant, despite local US Senators and Congressman urging the marque not to.
Tough Times All Around: Harley’s terrible, no-good, very bad year
With around 800 jobs at stake, Harley’s decision to close its Kansas City vehicle and powertrains operation plant is one that will have a profound impact on a lot of lives. In something of a last ditch effort to get the suits at H-D to reconsider, a letter was sent to Harley CEO, Matt Levatich, reminding the Milwaukee-based outfit of the countless incentives, tax-breaks, and perks it was given when it agreed to setup shop in the state in 1996, a choice Harley made after the Midwestern City’s offer beat out that from 30 other cities from across the US.
