Legend Air Suspensions has completed its move to Sturgis. They will be open at their new location during the 2010 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally offering air suspension installations and utility terrain vehicle (UTV) test rides for fire fighters and those interested in their new line of UTV products.

Legend’s facility is located at 3461 Whitewood Service Road off of exit 30, just past Hurshrudes. Jesse Jurrens, owner of Legend Air Suspensions called the City of Sturgis very instrumental in their move. City Manager Dave Boone believes “One of the best things we can do for our residents in these tough economic times is help create and retain jobs. At a time when many factories are closing around the nation we are very fortunate to bring an excellent company like Legend Air Suspensions to Sturgis.”  Mayor Maury LaRue agreed.  “Legend Air’s connection to outdoor recreation industry is a natural fit in Sturgis and we’re very happy that we have been able to recruit another quality company like Legend Air Suspensions to join businesses like Remington, Bar-Sto Precision and Cor-Bon in our community.  This is a win-win for Sturgis and Legend Air Suspensions” he added. 

The leaders of the Sturgis Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) were similarly pleased after having recruited the company over the last two years.  Co Chairman Paul Bisson of the SEDC says “It’s rewarding to finally be able to announce this project.  The economic impact of Legend Air to our local economy will provide a nice boost to keep our economy moving”. Scott Sabers, Co Chair of the SEDC added “This is yet another sign that persistence and patience pays off in the end and Sturgis is on the right track.“ Jurrens is happy to be part of SEDC’s plans stating "Sturgis is a meca in the motorcycle world. We´re happy to be able to work in and support the small city that welcome so many riders each year."
