NovaBUS Roswell plant seeks buyer and potential closure
NovaBUS says it will not accept new Roswell bus contracts and will lay off workers as contracts are fulfilled unless a buyer is found. The plant could employ about 400 but currently uses around 260, and the company may close if unsold. The situation tests local economic leadership including CCDF and Travis Kirkland as Roswell seeks new buyers or businesses.
