GE plans to close Circleville light-bulb factory

Once a major employer, the GE Lighting plant in Circleville is now slated to close because of a drop in demand for the light bulbs made there. The company, part of General Electric, said on Wednesday that the plant would close in August 2017. It employed more than 200 employees two years ago and had more than 1,100 at its peak. The company declined to say how many people work there now.
