The new owner of a company that makes fire trucks and other emergency vehicles has announced plans to close a factory in Neligh.
REV Group, which in February bought Spartan Emergency Response from Spartan Motors for $55 million, said it will close the Neligh plant within a couple of months, costing about 20 people their jobs.
The Neligh location provides aerial components and bodies to a much larger production plant in Snyder.
A company representative told the Antelope County News that a review of operations after the purchase determined that "having multiple locations in Nebraska was just not cost effective," so it decided to consolidate all operations at the Snyder plant.
