STURGIS, Mich. \u2014 Heartland Recreational Vehicles, an RV manufacturer based in Indiana, has announced the closure of its Sturgis facility, a move that will result in the loss of approximately 120 jobs. The company, which operates the plant on Haines Boulevard off North Centreville Street, filed a notice with the state this week, outlining the upcoming layoffs.<\/p>\n

According to the document, workers at the Sturgis location are expected to be laid off by June 20, marking the end of operations at the facility. This closure is part of a broader business decision by Heartland, though the company has not provided specific reasons for the shutdown of the Sturgis plant.<\/p>\n

The announcement has raised concerns in the local community, where the plant has been an important employer for several years. The loss of these jobs could have a significant economic impact on the area, particularly for workers who have been with the company long-term.<\/p>\n

Heartland Recreational Vehicles is a major player in the RV manufacturing industry, producing a wide range of recreational vehicles. While the closure of the Sturgis site may be a setback for the company\u2019s operations in Michigan, it remains to be seen what the long-term effects will be on the local economy.<\/p>\n

The company has yet to comment on whether the closure will be accompanied by any restructuring or potential relocations for the affected workers. As June 20 approaches, employees and residents of Sturgis will likely be left to adjust to the changes that come with the facility\u2019s closure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
