A Pittsburgh, Pa. solar energy company has shut its doors four years
after receiving nearly $10.2 million in tax credits from the Obama
Administration as part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.
Flabeg Solar U.S. Corp., a $30 million solar plant located near the Pittsburgh International Airport, opened
its doors in 2009 and was said to provide 300 jobs. Now, just four
years later, the plant has shut down and laid off more than 60 workers.
In addition to this, 10 of its former employees have petitioned a federal judge for severance pay after they lost their jobs last month, according to PA Independent.
Robert Lampl, the attorney for Flabeg, said the company would
probably seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from the workers who are
suing over their severance pay.
