With Michigan now leading the nation in unemployment, this circle seems as broken as the rusted gates that stand sentry over those now-silent factories. This was the case in Greenville three years ago when Montcalm County's biggest employer, Electrolux Home Products Inc., shuttered its doors and shipped its manufacturing jobs to South Carolina and Mexico. The area lost more than 7,000 jobs.It was the end of an era -- or so it seemed. Greenville is now a leader in the production of alternative energy components -- an industry that manufacturing leaders, economists and energy experts say could be the next big boom in Michigan's economy.
