The plants still in use. As for how much, I don't know. I think, somewhat ignorantly, it's kind of running on minimum staff. I don't actually remember seeing people going in or out of there within the past few years, but they still take in shipments.

| | | | When i was delivering parts for peterborough automotive i made a delivery to that building. That was at least eight years ago and the place seemed almost empty then. i think at that time they rented out space to other companies. Only other info i have is that the research department was still running about twelve years ago because i knew a girl that worked in the lab at the time. Sorry that all my information is so dated but i guess i every little bit helps

| | | | When i made my delivery i encountered no security,reception or receiving people. I wandered the halls of what seemed like an empty building for over ten minutes before finding anyone at this building

| | | | Yes, I should acknowledge my own ignorance as to the name of the company, I'm not sure what/who it is.
Now I'm curious. When I get back to the city, I'll drive by for a look-see.

| | | | I dont know what signs adorn the building nowadays, but at one time it used to have a poppycock sign out front. I remember my mom worked there for a short bit when i was just a tyke. She brought home the poppycock sometimes. dont know if i could eat it now but i loved it back then

| | | | Just drove around it last weekend.
It is quite a busy hub of activity these days by another (manufacturing?) company. It is quite a nice building and would have been a sweet explore before the present denizens moved in.

| | | | Regarding GE: Friend of mine worked there, it's pretty tightly locked up. I've been in (officially) and let me say it is amazing inside. This one building had all kinds of old testing equipment from some period - trying to stay vague here, it was archetype mad scientist stuff.
Again, though, they do a fine job keeping that place secured. Never tried to go in unofficially and personally, I wouldn't myself.

| | | | I also once met the head security guard there.
He (name withheld) is officially the most intimidating and coolest person I've met. Very nice man, but I wouldn't go in there just because he could be on watch.
