A few KCFC members enjoyed a field trip to HIgh Point, North Carolina recently to tour the ThomasBuilt School Bus manufacturing plant.
Brian Bane (Cummins Crosspoint0, David Huff (LG&E/KU), Marie Burnett (Waste Management), Jeff Jacobs (Eaton), Barry Zink and Frank Lewis (Whayne Power) and Melissa Howell (KCFC), not only toured the manufacturing facility where 33 busses come off the line daily but also got a first hand look at CNG busses bound for California and the solar panels on site that were provided by Duke Energy. Due to growth in production demand, the plant has brought back 250 laid off workers from last year and is hiring an additional 100.
