Continuing a downward spiral of insecurity for its Colorado workforce, Vestas Wind announced more cutbacks this week. Slashing an additional 10 percent of the 1,100 still employed in the state, the layoffs comprise approximately 110 workers between the Brighton and Windsor locations.

In an effort to stave off further cuts, the company took a novel approach at the end of the year, with help from the state.
