NYSSA
A growing all-terrain vehicle manufacturing company has
injected tiny Nyssa — just south of Ontario — with
new economic life. Driving
Ambitions is scheduled to build 1,000 ATVs this year
based on designs from Pacer International. The company expected
17 employees by Jan. 1 and it’ll eventually ramp up to 50
or 60. It has taken over the old Wilson’s market building
in central Nyssa. Company manager Ted Iverson says Driving
Ambitions will eventually build a new manufacturing facility in
town as it outgrows its current spot and hires more people.
“There were so many unemployed and underemployed people
around town — it is such a waste,” Iverson says.
