The commuting fact
The largest vehicle works in this town's life stands in Mishawaka, and North Liberty's tie to it is the men who drove there to build trucks. AM General's Mishawaka plant — builder of military trucks and, in its day, the Hummer — employed this township across generations; the Hoosier Lottery's 2025 winner story happens to document the tie in a single line, its North Liberty winner "retired after a 49-year career at AM General" (lottery leg). Forty-nine years is a working life, and multiplied across the township it is the real automobile history of North Liberty: not a marque, but a commute. The supplier-web test belongs with it and returns a negative at town scale: no pumps, axles or components works seated here selling to the auto industry was found beyond the extrusion plant's general trade (technology leg). Built here versus sold here versus worked there — the leg keeps the three verbs separate, and the third is this town's.
