Well first off, I hope that you didn't have an owner change, that instead, the company where you work had a management change!
I'm nearing retirement age and have learned to put zero weight on the management statement that nothing is changing. Management wants control, and the way they do that is to assure everyone that everything is fine. THEY want to be the ones to lay off people; they do NOT want employees thinking for themselves and being proactive. Case in point, most companies state up front that they are "employment at will" meaning that they can lay you off with zero notice. You, on the other hand, are to give weeks (if not months) notice if you plan to leave.
So, yes, do your resume, as it's a nice touch of reality to see how the market is doing and see what you're worth elsewhere. This isn't necessarily a bad thing either way.
