Vermont Company Closes, 80 Jobs Lost

W.T. Solutions, a sewing contractor that makes garments for the military and other outlets, closed and plans to move to Newark, N.J.

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) -- A St. Johnsbury company has closed, putting 80 people out of work.

W.T. Solutions, a sewing contractor, closed Wednesday afternoon and plans to move to Newark, N.J.

Owner Marie Bouchard of Conway, N.H., says she has been losing money every year for five years.

She says the problem is there are not enough qualified people to hire in St. Johnsbury, so she did not have enough workers to fill large contracts.

The company makes garments for the military and other outlets.
