General Electric will sell its lighting division, raising questions about the future of its historic headquarters in East Cleveland.
According to a statement from the company, GE is in early discussions with multiple buyers. For now, the employees at Nela Park will stay there. Some are employees of GE Lighting, others of Current, its energy management subsidiary, which is not being sold.
