A Giant Moves On

Part of the hardship involves lack of transportation to and from the new facility.

"Our old plant is across the street from public transportation. A lot of our people rely on it to get to work. Our new plant is a mile away from the nearest BART [Bay Area Rapid Transit] station, and that presents a problem," says Sheehan. "We're trying to remedy this by partnering with other departments at the facility to get a shuttle bus."
