Greece Town faces tough choice on American made dirt mover
Greece New York officials rejected a low bid on a used Komatsu excavator in favor of an American option, only to discover the Komatsu was partly American made. The alternative John Deere unit, though produced by a Deere Hitachi venture, is largely assembled abroad. Town will seek an American maker while bound by state law to take the lowest bid over ten thousand dollars. The town rents the Komatsu for four thousand dollars monthly to clear a flood risk creek. The supervisor notes the difficulty of judging true origin versus corporate structure.
