Another Wilmington business to shut down

Another Wilmington business will be closing its doors. The National Gypsum Dry Wall Plant in Wilmington will shut down on January 19, 2008.

The closing will put 63 people out of work. A spokeswoman for the company said the slump in the housing market has diminished demand for dry wall and company profits. She added the company hopes to re-open the plant when things pick back up.
