VERMILION COUNTY, Ill. (WCIA) — Another major company in Vermilion County will be closing its doors for good.

The UPS Customer Center on the border of Tilton and Danville is shutting down permanently. A spokesperson for the company said the UPS building made a notice in January that they’ll be making changes to optimize their network and improve efficiency. After hearing about the hub closing everything, the Mayor of Tilton is disappointed to see another business leave their county.

“We can’t keep letting stuff move away. Yes, I understand, Champaign-Urbana is bigger; we’re not, I’m not going to argue that. But we’re losing a lot of things,” said William Wear, Mayor of Tilton. “We’ve lost Quaker Oats, we’ve lost General Electric, we’ve lost stores, we lost Ball Aluminum. We, Vermilion County, somewhere has got to stand up and fight and quit losing everything.”

Three months ago, the facility had already shut its doors for people to come in and drop off packages. A spokesperson for UPS said it’s still unclear when they’ll be closing for good and how many employees this will affect.
