It's been about a month since I drove past the former Freudenberg-NOK car parts making plant on Hounsel Ave in Laconia, close to the Gilford border. It closed in the spring of 2009, and about 130 lost their jobs making silicone injected, iso-elastic parts for automobiles.
It had a for sale sign from a commercial real estate broker looking for a buyer. Maybe, Toyota will set up shop in that empty factory building, and start cranking out new & improved accelerator pedals for all the millions of defective Toyotas out on the roads? Can only hope......
