RIPLEY, W.Va. (AP) — Workforce West Virginia says the closure of a Jackson County food distributor is going to eliminate 90 jobs.


Workforce West Virginia said Thursday several state and county agencies are going to assist Nashville, Tenn.-based Commissary Operations Inc. employees after the company closes in October. Services will include information on finding new jobs and support.


The agency says the West Virginia Development Office is expected to seek a new business for Commissary Operations’ 42,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center in Ripley.


Commissary Operations did not have immediate comment about why it plans to close the Ripley operation.
