La-Z-Boy Closing Plant, 250 Affected

La-Z-Boy plans to cut 250 jobs as it consolidates its plant in Wilkes County, North Carolina with the one in Caldwell County.

Caldwell County officials have given the company $500,000 in incentives. The consolidation will add 30 jobs to the 200-employee plant in Caldwell over five years.

Wilkes County manager John Yates said he had not heard about the consolidation, but that the company wasn’t interested in a counter offer from Wilkes.
