Kane Company closing, laying off about 900 workers

ELKRIDGE, Md. (AP) — The Kane Company, an Elkridge-based commercial mover, is shutting down most of its operations and laying off at least 900 workers in Maryland and Virginia.

Owner John Kane announced Thursday that most divisions would cease operations Sunday.

Kane says the family-owned company found itself facing $2 million in lease costs it couldn’t pay involving a move into new warehouse space.
