Mayor says Inline Plastics is leaving Gladwin, reports about 25 jobs affected
Summary
Mayor Sarah Kile told the Dec. 1 council meeting that Inline Plastics is leaving the community and 'there is twenty-five (25) people that will be losing their jobs'; council minutes record the statement but include no follow-up detail or staff report.
Mayor Sarah Kile told the Gladwin City Council at its Dec. 1 meeting that Inline Plastics is leaving the community and that about 25 local jobs will be lost.
"There is twenty-five (25) people that will be losing their jobs," Mayor Kile said, according to the meeting minutes. The statement appeared during the Mayor Comments section; the minutes do not record additional detail, a company statement, or a staff report about severance, timeline for the departure, or assistance for affected workers.
Council did not take formal action on the announcement during the meeting. Mayor Kile also used her time to warn residents about scams and to urge support for United Way donations ahead of holiday needs and local events such as the Festival of Light Parade.
Why it matters A local employer's departure with the potential loss of dozens of jobs can affect families and municipal budgets and may prompt requests for economic development or workforce assistance from county or state partners.
What’s next The minutes contain only the mayoral statement; verification with the employer, county economic development staff or the city's administration will be needed to confirm the company's timeline, exact headcount affected and any available assistance.
