A group of area buyers said Tuesday that bankrupt Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. accepted its bid for a manufactured-housing plant in Garrett.

The plant, which employs 80, was slated to close this month. But the buyer, Adventure Homes LLC, was notified Tuesday morning that its bid was accepted, said Wally Comer, general manager of the plant and one of its new owners.
