LA GRANDE, Ore. (AP) - An Eastern Oregon RV maker bought the former Fleetwood Enterprises travel trailer plant near La Grande.
A Northwood Manufacturing official told The Observer newspaper that the price was a little more than $2 million. The sale hearing and auction took place this week in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Riverside, Calif.
Fleetwood Enterprises closed the La Grande plant in March, laying off about 160 workers.
Northwood makes trailers, fifth-wheels and truck campers in a plant at the Union County Airport industrial Park. The company recently built a facility for manufacturing trailer axles and chassis.
