Company To Close Central Ohio Popcorn Plants

ConAgra Foods says it will close its two popcorn plants in Marion County. A plant in Marion will close in October, and a plant in Morral will close next year. No word on what will happen to the 170 people working at the facilities. The company blames declining popcorn sales.
