Project Need(s)
To create a high tech manufacturing facility in Groton, NY that would allow this partnership between the Saulsbuty family and their decades of firetruck manufacturing in the US and the Dutch firm Plastisol, with their high tech composite truck bodies.
In addition, this project has created new manufacturing jobs in rural Groton New York.
 
Project Solution
