We recently informed employees that FedEx facilities in Effingham, Springfield, and Urbana will close later this year, and certain team members will be offered opportunities at other FedEx locations. Decisions of this nature are the result of much thought and consideration for maintaining the high level of service expected from our customers and other needs of our business. Affected team members were notified several months before any changes occur and receive assistance with finding other employment opportunities within the company, including additional support options like relocation assistance or severance where applicable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A date for the closure could not be given, but it is not expected to happen for at least several months, as employee options including retraining will take some time.<\/p>\n<p>Two other locations in Central Illinois, those in Urbana and Springfield, will similarly be closing this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As more information about this closure is released, such as the facility address, date, and number of people affected, this story will be updated.<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FedEx has announced that one of its Effingham shipping facilities will be closing later this year.&nbsp; This is not expected to have a significant impact on the large Freight Distribution [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
