Business roundup
Will's IGA is closing today
A long-time Redkey business is set to shut its doors.
Wills Market is set to close at 6 p.m. today.
Owner Gary Wills said a lack of profitability and the new Dollar General being built just to the west on Indiana 67 “made the decision simple.”
Wills has run the business since 1982, retiring two times when his son and then his daughter ran it.
“We’re a dying breed,” Wills said of being an independent businessman. “Life goes on.”
The building is for sale.
“We appreciate all the business,” Wills said.
Fined
Tyson Foods Inc. will pay fines for two misdemeanor violations of the Clean Water Act at its Monett, Missouri, location in 2014.
The parent company of Tyson Mexican Original in Portland announced this week that it will pay $2 million to the federal government and a $500,000 community service payment, with half going to Monett and half going to the State of Missouri.
Tyson already made a settlement with the State of Missouri in 2015 and paid a civil penalty, funded a bridge replacement in Monett and donated money to the James River Basin Partnership.
In May 2014, animal feed ingredient was released into Monett’s wastewater treatment system, resulting in a fish kill in a nearby stream.
