Over fifty years of service to Vincennes based KCARC was honored yesterday with the naming of the Coonrod Production Center on Sixth Street. The plant was the former Johnson Controls building before its acquisition by KCARC for their manufacturing.
Coonrod has helped oversee KCARC since its beginnings in the 1970’s. However, he was shocked over the decision to name the facility in his honor. As for the future, Coonrod is happy to know in his view, the group’s legacy will continue long after he has left the scene,
KCARC officials held a ceremony yesterday in Coonrod’s honor. The ceremony included a ribbon cutting for the facility, along with guided tours of all the various jobs done in the facility.
