The Stakes

This Is How a 210-Year Legacy Disappears

Losing Remington does not happen in one dramatic moment. It happens in stages: a historic plant goes quiet after two centuries. A celebrated relocation delivers less than was promised. The local contractors who poured the concrete and hung the steel go unpaid and record liens. Suppliers sue. Skilled workers drift away. And one day the name that outlasted every war and depression in American history is just a trademark on a shelf.

Ilion, New York already lived the first stage — production ceased in early 2024 after 208 years. Whether LaGrange, Georgia becomes the next stage is precisely what the current litigation, and the public record around it, will determine.

This site exists so that the record of how it happened — and the chance to change how it ends — is in public hands.

A Note on Allegations Court filings referenced on this site contain allegations. Allegations are one party’s account, not findings of fact, and every defendant is entitled to respond. Recorded liens, filed lawsuits, and official press releases are facts of record. This site labels which is which, on every page.

The Builders Left Behind

The Contractors Are Not Getting Paid

The firms that built the LaGrange plant have turned to the only remedies the law gives them: recorded liens and lawsuits. These are facts of public record, verifiable by book and page with the Clerk of Superior Court of Troup County.
