The Nebraska Department of Economic Development, Central Community College, the CCC Foundation, several Grand Island foundations, NorthWestern Public Service, Grand Island financial institutions, the Grand Island Utilities Department, St. Francis Medical Center and the city organized to provide an alternative package. It is likely that Grand Island's incentives fell short of those offered by a couple of communities that will not survive the CNH Global reorganization. But the package offered very attractive educational and training incentives that include robotics, lasers, welding and powder coating. The financial incentives were enough to keep Grand Island in the game. Other factors then played to Grand Island's advantage.
New innovations are in place to reduce inventory and keep production costs down.
A great history. The relationship between New Holland and Grand Island has been tremendous over the years. Grand Island always has been a special place for the company, and New Holland always has been at the heart of this community. For many reasons, it is wonderful to see the partnership continue.
