Elkhart is known for RVs. An RV company is looking to expand to neighboring Noble County.

WANE-TV says Forest River RV has purchased three buildings in the Ligonier Industrial Park that will be used to manufacture and service the company’s travel trailers.

It will bring about 500 new jobs to Noble County.

This is an addition to the company’s announcement last year that they are expanding in DeKalb County, which will create nearly 400 new jobs there.
