The announcement is a blow to the community, but is necessary to help Henderson County's largest employer stay competitive, said Bob Williford, Henderson County Chamber of Commerce president.
"We never like to see companies go through downsizing and those jobs leaving our community," he said."In this case, it certainly will make GE more competitive, putting them on a more competitive playing field with their product and hopefully it will allow that facility to remain a successful business and a long-term partner in our Henderson County business community.
"GE is a big supporter of United Way and many activities throughout our community," Williford continued.
