Less than a year after purchasing El Dorado in Salina, Forest River Inc. has notified its Salina employees and the State of Kansas that it is closing the facility. 

According to the KansasWorks website, Forest River, Inc. filed a WARN Notice on Monday for its facility at 1655 Wall Street in Salina. 

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act is a federal law that requires employers to provide advanced notification to workers when faced with a plant closing or mass layoff. 

The move will affect 146 employees, according to the WARN notice. The closure is expected to occur in mid-May.

Forest River purchased the former El Dorado bus facility from the REV Group in mid-May of 2020.

Attempts to reach Forest River have not been successful.
