The auction for equipment in the former General Motors plant in Janesville is ongoing this week, with possible buyers bidding on equipment including industrial robots, electrical controls and plant-support gear. This is the latest move in the process as demolition of the 4.8 million square foot factory begins. Join us as we look back and consider the consequences of the plant’s closure with a Washington Post reporter, then turn to the City of Janesville’s Economic Development Director to find out what’s happening in the area to encourage businesses and help the community.
