Kimberly-Clark Holds off on Closure Decision on Wisconsin Hygiene Products Plant

The Appleton Post Crescent reported that Kimberly-Clark will delay the decision to close its Cold Spring plant, according to an email sent to employees. 

The company had set a Sept. 30 deadline for the state Senate to pass a tax incentive package that would have kept the facility open.

But with that deadline come and gone, K-C apparently bowed to the collective wishes of union officials and lawmakers who had lobbied the company to keep the facility open and its 500 jobs remaining in the Fox Cities.

Govenor Scott Walker said the Senate will meet in an extraordinary session on Nov. 12 to vote on the incentive package, Assembly Bill 963.
