PERRY, Fla. (WTXL) - A snack manufacturing plant in Taylor County is closed and cutting about 250 jobs.

The last bag of chips rolled off the conveyor belt at Snyder's Lance in Perry early Wednesday morning.

The company announced the closure in July as a part of a plan to move resources to their other plants around the country.
