ELKHART, Ind. (AP) — Layoffs are expected to begin late this year from a northern Indiana factory with about 115 workers that's slated for closure. The company that owns the Crown Audio plant in Elkhart has notified state officials it intends to lay off 50 workers effective Dec. 22. Harman International Industries announced last month it would close the factory that makes audio devices for concert venues and other settings, although some job cuts might not happen until next summer. Company officials said the division was facing "some serious business challenges" in the U.S.
