Johnson County Plant Closes
American Standard has closed its Paintsville plant in Johnson County, after being in operation more than 40 years.
County officials say many of the jobs will go to Mexico. American Standard officials have cited increasing energy costs and the plant's distance to interstate highways as factors in their decision to close.
