Husqvarna, a large plant in McRae that makes gas-powered walk-behind lawnmowers, tillers and snow throwers, is planning to close affecting up to 1,000 workers.
The closure is scheduled for the end of the second quarter of 2019, according to a news release.
About 1,000 people work in the 750,000-square-foot facility during its peak season, which is now, but the company is expected to have about 500-600 workers by the second quarter.
Awful news. This region of the state already has a lack of quality jobs and this loss would be devastating economically. Hopefully, a buyer will emerge.
