Harley might close York plant

Harley-Davidson is considering moving its local operations out of York County as a possible option to getting the local manufacturing hub's cost structure right.

Spokesman Bob Klein said Tuesday the company has found that the York operations are "not competitive long-term as they are currently structured," and might consider moving those operations to "alternative U.S. locations."

Moving the Springettsbury Township plant is not the only option the company is considering.

Harley-Davidson until recently employed more than 3,000 workers locally but the number has been dwindling as sales have slumped. The total now stands close to 2,650.
