Vermilion Co. UPS facility shutting down permanently
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. Danville still in holiday spirit with Community Impact Awards '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. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Horizon Health expanding to Tilton
TILTON, Ill. (WCIA) — One Vermillion County Village is getting a new Horizon Health clinic to help meet people's needs in town. It will be a family medicine clinic in Tilton — which means it can handle common medical issue like strep throat and the flu. It will be available for both appointments and walk-ins, and it will initially be staffed by three employees: one advanced practice doctor and two clinical support staff. Health Alliance discontinuing plans at year's end; Medicare Advantage to continue 'According to the builder, when we came in here and looked this over, he was explaining to me, this is going to be like a small lab area where they help diagnose problems people are having,' Tilton Mayor William Wear said. 'Over here is going to be the nurses station. And if my understanding is right, back in here somewhere is where the refrigeration units are going to go in, where they're going to keep the medication and all that.' Horizon said they're looking to hire a nurse practitioner or physician's assistant for the facility's main position. The plan is for the clinic to open by June of this year. Mayor Wear said it may expand to a five-acre lot in the future based on the needs of people in and around Tilton. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
