A printing plant that publishes many of the Iron Range's newspapers will close at the end of March and production will be moved to Duluth. 

 
      American Consolidated Media's Hibbing plant publishes a shopper and four newspapers, including the Mesabi Daily News. The closure will mean the loss of 54 jobs. 
 

      The production will be moved to Forum Communications' new state-of-the-art production facility in Duluth. Forum is the parent company for the Duluth News Tribune. Duluth publisher Ken Browall says Hibbing plant employees will have a chance to apply for positions at the new plant. The number of available jobs isn't yet known.
