Mattoon’s General Electric Lighting lamp plant is going to be closing. The company made the announcement yesterday that the plant is planned to close by August of next year. GE cites changing technology in electrics and lighting as the reason for the planned closure. The current plan is that there will be 60 days before local officials know for sure that the closure will occur and that there are opportunities for the decision to be reversed. Employees at the plant have an opportunity to offer alternatives to the planned closure.
