The Mayfield, Kentucky, candle factory destroyed by a December tornado is laying off 250 employees who cannot be transferred to a second facility.
MAYFIELD, Ky. -- The Mayfield, Kentucky, candle factory leveled by a tornado last month is shutting down and 251 employees are being laid off, a company official said.
In a letter this week to Kentucky's Office of Employer and Apprenticeship Services, the candle factory plant manager said that the company,"has determined that because of the recent devastating tornado ... it can no longer continue to operate." First responders rushed to the factory to help with rescue efforts after the tornado. They set up lights, and people trapped inside the debris began calling for help and telling rescuers their location, Graves County commissioner Todd Hayden previously told CNN.
