NAPPANEE — Another round of layoffs is on the way for workers at Newmar RV in Nappanee.

The company says they'll lay off a small number of remaining employees on Wednesday.

In February, they laid off nearly 120 workers — about 13 percent of their workforce.

Last month, they laid off another 20 percent, about 160 people. That only leaves about 630 of the original 900 workers.

The company says high gas prices and a sluggish economy are to blame.
