A Bluffton Saturn story
While the recent announcement that GM's Saturn vehicles will cease production is a blow to the American economy, here's a sideline to the story worth our consideration.
In the early stages of Saturn's creation there was speculation that one of the plant sites under consideration by General Motors was near Bluffton. With the village on Interstate 75 and within short driving distance of Detroit, the speculation may have been accurate.
Whatever the case, Saturn didn't locate in Bluffton - or nearby as the story went. At Saturn's launch, the fact that Bluffton was not picked was somewhat a a bummer here. Saturn eventually landed in Tennessee.
Fast forward to 2009. Imagine the impact to this community had Saturn acutally located here...and announced this week that it would cease production within two years.
