The old Schatz factory, once a key part of Poughkeepsie’s industrial history, has remained a blighted landmark since its closure in 1980. At its peak in the 1940s, the factory employed 1,200 workers producing ball bearings for major companies like Ford and NAPA, but foreign competition and industry shifts led to its decline. Learn about the revitalization project here.
