We've Moved!

Work has started on the renovation of the Mercury Plaza building in downtown Loveland that will be the future headquarters of Lightning Hybrids and Hydraulic Hybrid Systems. Structural designs are being completed and a new floor is going into the old print shop building.

While we await our new home, we have moved from the east side of Railroad Avenue to the west side. The new space has great office space for our design and administrative team and a nice garage for our vehicle team. We aren't able to accomodate tours at this time, but hope to host an open house in the springtime.

Job Creation Incentive from the City of Loveland

Last night the Loveland City Council unanimously approved a job creation incentive plan for $100,000 for 50 new jobs in the next two years. We are excited to continue toward our goals with the endorsement of the City of Loveland.

The package states that the jobs created must be 50 R&D jobs paid $65,000 or more a year on average and sustained for 12 months. If we do not create and/or sustain the jobs we will repay $2,000 back to the City per job.

We are up to the task!

You can read the articles on our News page (look for July 8 postings).

Speaking of Loveland, we drove the car around downtown yesterday. Some pictures:
