Bank changing its name next fall
Business Roundup
Pacesetter Bank, which has offices at 1221 N. Meridian St., Portland, and 714 N. Main St., Dunkirk, has announced a name change planned for next fall.
Beginning Oct. 1, 2013, Pacesetter Bank will operate as Citizens State Bank, which has been its sister bank in other Indiana counties for about 50 years.
“The costs of regulatory compliance are essentially doubled as we continue to operate the two banks separately,” said Dan Maddox, Senior Vice President of Branch Development. “By blending the two charters into one, we will have a stronger company as a whole.”

Workhorse Custom shutting down
Workhorse Custom Chassis in Union City is shutting down after doing business there for 12 years.
The company, which operated the world’s largest strip chassis manufacturing line from its facility on S. Ind. 32, opened in Union City in 1999. In 2009, the company issued a Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification to the Indiana Department of Workforce development, saying the company was going to reduce its size by about 90 employees. In 2011, the company issued a second WARN notice saying it was going to lay off another 173 employees.
On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for Navistar International Corporation – Workhorse’s Illinois-based parent company – announced the Union City plant would produce its final chassis on Wednesday.
The company plans on keeping a small number of employees to help wind down the factory over the next few weeks, a Navistar official said.
Natural gas prices remain low
Natural gas prices have remained stable and relatively low over the past three years, translating to manageable bills for Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana – North customers.
The utility company recently announced that its customers could see bills that are as much as 5 percent lower. Abundant gas supply in the U.S. has resulted in lower natural gas costs, causing bill amount to have decreased by about 40 percent since the winter of 2008-2009.
