URBANA — Dart Container Corp. plans to shut down its Urbana plant by the end of the year, the company confirmed Friday. A statement from Dart's Michigan-based corporate office said employment at the 300,000-square-foot plant at 1505 E. Main St., U, will draw down as the company meets final production commitments. 'Dart Container has made the difficult decision to cease operation by year's end at its Urbana, Illinois, manufacturing location due to declining production volume,' says an emailed statement from Dart's corporate communications staff.
