Rep. Ron Kresha Statement on Wabash National Closure in Little Falls

St. Paul, MN — State Representative Ron Kresha (R-Little Falls) released the following statement after Wabash National announced it will permanently close its Little Falls manufacturing facility on April 17, resulting in the layoff of 56 employees:

“The closure of Wabash National’s Little Falls facility is difficult news for our community. My thoughts are with the workers and families affected by this decision and the uncertainty they now face.

While job losses are never easy, support is available. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development and CareerForce locations in our region offer resources including job search assistance, training opportunities, and career counseling for workers impacted by layoffs.

Little Falls and Morrison County are resilient communities, and I remain hopeful that the skilled workers affected by this closure will find new opportunities in the months ahead.”
