It's been a busy week for Harley Davidson executives, visiting three potential sites where they might build a production plant. A new plant would come at a huge expense for our area, forcing the closure of Harley's York County plant.

Twenty four hundred people work at the Harley Davidson plant in York County. The company adds $2 million each year to the local tax rolls. Back in May, executives said they were considering moving the plant. They spent this weeK actively looking for other sites.

Let the wooing begin, as four communities welcome Harley Davidson executives, trying to convince them, their area is just right for a plant.

"Harley Davidson did have a group come down to Shelby County ( Indiana) to visit the community," said Shelbyville Council President Sean Eberhart.

This tract of land in Shelbyville, Indiana is one of four finalists being considered by Harley. Executives made a stop there on Wednesday to see if the area would be a good fit.

"With Honda to the east and Harley to the west, combined it would be 3,500 to 4,000 jobs. So that would have a huge economic impact in Shelby County," said Shelbyville realtor Steve Allen.

That economic impact would come at the expense of the plant in Springettsbury Township. Harley is considering three other sites besides Shelbyville, Indiana. They include Murfeesboro, Tennessee, Shelbyville, Kentucky and Kansas City, Missouri. To stay in York County, Governor Ed Rendell says, significant changes have to be made.

"They want a change in the work rules and the operating rules so they can do what they need to be more productive and competitive. And then they want to upgrade their facility," said Governor Rendell during an August 2 rally for Harley Davidson sponsored by Fox43.

Governor Rendell says, Pennsylvania is doing what it can to keep Harley. The Governor saying Pennsylvania is offering Harley $15 million to stay right where it is.

"We are going to put a package together and we will be competitive with the three other states. We don't intend to lose Harley Davidson," Rendell said.

Executives have said, the preferred option is keeping the plant in York County. Making it profitable is the key.

Those executives have visited three of four sites so far. They haven't been to Kansas City, however, they are familiar with the area. There is already a Harley production plant in Kansas City.

Governor Rendell has said, he thinks Harley will have a decision by the end of September. Harley has reportedly said that timetable for a decision will probably be more like the end of the year.
