Plant Closing #9

I spent a night in Ft Smith once. Nice little town. I think I had to buy a membership in a club in order to drink there. Actually, it was just a bar, but the law said you had to be a member to drink there. Here is some bad news for the town.


Plastics manufacturer Jarden Plastics Solutions in Fort Smith is closing and will lay off 93 workers.
The company said Tuesday that external factors, including diminished demand from Whirlpool Corp., made the closing necessary. Whirlpool laid off another 700 workers at its Fort Smith plant last week.



Ft Smith is the "future site of the U.S. Marshals Museum."
