Oregon’s Governor Ted Kulongoski is using a $100,000 grant from his Strategic Reserve Fund to support Brammo, Inc., a manufacturer of electric motorcycles.
The company plans to invest $51 million over the next five years to produce its all-electric motorcycle called the Enertia. That includes an $18 million headquarters and production facility in Ashland.
The governor also paid a visit to Barefoot Motors a manufacturer of electric off-road utility vehicles. The company relocated from California last fall and started production in June at a rate of 10 vehicles per month. Learn more: Bizjournal.com
