Midwest Generation to close 2 Chicago coal plants

Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

Midwest Generation has confirmed that the long-planned closings of its two coal plants in Chicago will result in the loss of 210 jobs.

The closure was initially announced back in the spring.

The company is closing its Fisk and Crawford facilities in September after getting pressure from state, community and environmental groups.

Those are the last two operating coal plants in the city.

Some of the displaced workers are expected to land positions at other facilities in the Chicago area.
