Growth Vehicles In South Bend

摘要

As the recreational vehicle industry goes, so goes South Bend-Elkhart, Ind. While Notre Dame dominates the South Bend side of the market, Elkhart is the world leader in RV production. "If you're in the RV business, pretty much you're here," says John O'Brien, VP and general manager at WNDU. Located in the Michigan-Indiana border region known as "Michiana," South Bend-Elkhart was as hard hit economically as almost any market in the U.S. But a surging manufacturing industry has it rolling once again. "The RV business has been real healthy, and Notre Dame has been building up, and there are jobs that go with that," says Jeff Guy, general manager at WBND, WCWW, WMYS and about a million subchannels. "The economy has been pretty good the last few years."
