Tribe, Ground Force Sign Deal

Ground Force Manufacturing has inked a deal to lease the Tribe’s 55,000sf manufacturing facility for the next five years, with two renewable terms of five years each. The facility is located on the Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation in Plummer and was formerly used by Echelon to produce large fuel bladders under a contract with the US Army. With major cuts to US military spending and the drawdown in Iraq, the US Army has shifted its spending priorities away from the large fuel bladders once produced by Echelon LLC at the Plummer facility. Echelon LLC will continue to focus on its emerging divisions in construction management and environmental services/ Helo Hancock , Coeur d’Alene Indian Tribe. More here.
