Borgwarner Auto Plant To Shut Down

Last updated on Thursday, January 3, 2008

(MUNCIE) - The Borgwarner Automotive Plant in Muncie will be torn down after production ends there in 2009.

Plant Manager Doug Owenby says the grounds will be cleared of the plant, which is nearly a half-mile long. He says there is interest from other companies in the site along Indiana 32 on the city's west side.

The plant currently has about 750 workers. In the 1950s, more than 6,000 worked there.
