It wasn’t the New Years greeting that nearly 90 employees at a Belleville plant were wishing for this afternoon. Workers at Interface Flooring on Lahr Drive in the Northeast Industrial Park were informed, late this afternoon, before leaving for their New Year’s break that the facility will be closing at the end of February leaving all of them without a job. Callers to our newsroom say company officials blamed the downturn in the economy for the Atlanta, Georgia-based company’s decision to close its only Canadian faciility. Interface is the world’s largest manufacturer of modular carpet. Company officials have been unavailable for comment.
