Indalex to close Girard operations

GIRARD — The state would consider tax credits or other economic incentives to keep Girard’s largest employer in the city.

Even so, all signs indicate Indalex Aluminum Solutions is going to shut down its Girard plant, said Mayor James Melfi.

About 300 people would lose their jobs.

No final decision was made on the plant, but “it looks bleak to me,” Melfi said.

“My optimism is greatly reduced,” he said. “My optimism is certainly waning.”

Indalex officials met today with Melfi and state officials.
