ELKHART -- People hold out hope that Think, the electric car company that set up shop here, can be resurrected by its Russian owner, the Chicago Tribune reported.
"We want them to be successful," Barkley Garrett, Elkhart's economic development director, told the Tribune. "We'd like to see them meet all their numbers. Certainly sooner rather than later we'd like to see them up and operating, producing the vehicles they thought they would be."
So far, Elkhart is out only $1,500 in tax benefits given to the company, the paper noted. Others believe the city of 50,000 will find a way to reinvent itself another way, as it has done throughout its history.
When the county's unemployment topped 20 percent in 2009, up from 4 percent when the RV industry was at its peak, building electric cars looked like a viable future, according to the Tribune.
"We've had our experiences with solar, wind and electric and, to date, we've not see those pay the dividends Washington promised," Dorinda Heiden-Guss, president of the county's Economic Development Corporation, told the Chicago Tribune.
