For the second time in roughly a year, Dallas-based Trinity Marine Products says it will close its Brusly plant and lay off 288 workers, according to the Louisiana Workforce Commission.
Trinity Marine sent a worker adjustment and retraining notification, or WARN notice, to the Workforce Commission, which released the notice today.
In August 2015, Trinity Marine sent a similar WARN notice to the LWC. But less than two months later, the company announced it had secured a big enough contract to keep the facility open.
Should the company not find a similar contract this time around, layoffs at the plant, located at 7555 Choctaw Road in Brusly, are set to begin Oct. 31 and will conclude by Dec. 9, the Workforce Commission says.
