Aerisyn, the Riverfront Parkway firm that builds wind towers, is laying off 54 employees due to the souring economy.
Officials pointed to a reduction of orders for the upcoming year.
They said they hope the slowdown is temporary and the workers can return.
"This announcement is not a reflection on the performance of our valued employees."
Aerisyn had announced in February 2005 that it was locating in the former Combustion Engineering plant and invest $7 million.
The firm would have 75 employees initially and could employ as many as 150 people within three years, officials said at the time.
