Georgetown GoldStar closing facility, 69 workers laid off

GEORGETOWN – GoldStar Transit, a Georgetown-based school bus transportation company, will shutter a facility in Manor and lay off 69 workers.

The layoffs are the result of Manor Independent School District’s decision to take its bus operations in-house. The company’s former contract with the school district netted $2 million per year.

Manor ISD reportedly plans to hire its own bus transportation workers to staff its new bus operations.

GoldStar will close its facility at 10332 Old Hwy. 20 in Manor. The layoffs are expected to be permanent and are scheduled to occur on July 31.
