Continental to close Kentucky tire plant in six months
Continental Tire North America will shut its Mayfield facility in about six months, leaving Mount Vernon as the only U.S. production site. The closure, due to weak original equipment demand and rising energy and raw material costs, will affect about 150 workers. The Bryan, Ohio plant was sold to Titan Tire for 53 million dollars. The Southern Morris Library at Southern Illinois University Carbondale will close for a multi million expansion and reopen Monday at 7:30 a.m. Library services shift to the Student Center during renovations.
