A company with a factory in Albemarle County has told federal and state officials that 87 people will lose their jobs by the end of the year.
On June 26, Emerson Automated Solutions filed a notice with the federal Department of Labor and the Virginia Department of Workforce Development and Advancement that it intends to layoff the workers.
The required notice is known as a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification and is intended to provide assistance to affected employees. (see the list)
Kroger notified the system of the closure of its store on June 20, 2025, indicating 81 workers would lose their job. The UFCW Local 400 has asked people to sign a petition asking for the company to reverse the decision.
Emerson Automated Solutions builds equipment that assist with the automation of manufacturing. Learn more about the closure in this article by Josh Janney in Virginia Business.
