MARION – The FedEx Facility on 5th Street in Marion is now closed. It closed Monday.
David Westrick, with FedEx Media Relations, tell us FedEx regularly evaluates its networks and makes adjustments to align with the evolving needs of the business. The FedEx facility on North 5th Street in Marion will close later this year and certain team members will move to another FedEx location on South Halfway Road. Each market is unique, and operational decisions such as this are based on a number of factors, including volume fluctuations, customer demand, facility footprints, and more.
Westrick says decisions of this nature are never made lightly and are the result of much thought and consideration for the needs of our business. Affected team members were notified months before any changes were to take place, and they are receiving assistance with finding other employment opportunities within the company, including additional support options like relocation assistance or severance where applicable.
