Wind turbine co. layoffs in Bucks Co.

EBENSBURG, Pa. (AP) - January 9, 2009

Gamesa plans to lay off 180 of 720 workers at its plant in Fairless Hills in Bucks County because it's not capable of turning out the larger blade. But the cutbacks there mean more work for a $50 million plant near Ebensburg in Cambria County.

Spokesman Michael Peck says the Ebensburg plant is easier to expand and was built with producing larger turbine blades in mind.
