Nice
Another example of why forums like this are so useful - for those of us not from that part of the world, this level of local knowledge can really flesh out those areas and even provide material for adventures.

Pretty good asset to have for anyone who has trucks and buses and wants to keep them in operation - i.e. lots of spare parts, tools, etc. at that kind of plant
the plant made both Wayne Wheeled Vehicle buses - the Lifestar and Lifeguard line and the BMY M939A2 (1987-1994) - so that plant would definitely be an asset for CivGov if they can get it back into operation or even use it as a depot site for repairing trucks and buses
