A Fall River textile plant will end manufacturing operations in March, resulting in the loss of 84 jobs.

The plant -- which makes curtains -- is owned by Charlotte, North Carolina-based CHF Industries. The company said in a statement that there was no longer a demand for the product made at the Fall River plant.

CHF will continue to operate a distribution facility at the site.

In 1995, the company closed a plant that employed 225 people in New Bedford. (AP)
