BEATRICE, Neb. -- Husqvarna Turf Care Co., a manufacturer of commercial mowing and turf care equipment has plans to build a new 274,000-square-foot plant on a 25 acre plot near the Beatrice airport, off U.S. Highway 77. The new facility will replace its current location on Park Street in Beatrice.
A reception occured this week at the Holiday Inn Express followed by a groundbreaking ceremony at the future building site. Lt. Gov. Dave Heineman, state Sen. Dennis Byars and Beatrice Mayor Dennis Schuster attended the ceremony.
Husqvarna has been a presence in Beatrice since 1999, when it purchased Yazoo/Kees Power Equipment and the following year added the Denver-based BlueBird line of turf care equipment to the company's portfolio.
Husqvarna plans for it's new facility to be functional by late spring 2005.
