Brevini Paying Penalties to Delaware County

Italian wind turbine maker Brevini is paying $375,000 in penalties to Delaware County. The reason: The failure to create 200 jobs by the end of last year. Brevini relocated its U.S. offices from Illinois to a new facility at Park One, near I-69. The company has never employed more than approximately 60 workers.

The Star Press reports the national recession and stalled-out wind industry worked against the company.  State, local and company officials announced  the construction of the new Brevini factory in Delaware county in 2008.

Brevini could pay another $800,000 in penalties to Delaware county, if it fails to create the equivalent of 410 full-time-jobs by the end of 2016.
