The FedEx Ship Center location in Youngstown will be closing its storage warehouse and office.

According to FedEx, the facility located at 2670 Salt Spring Road in Youngstown, will close later this year. No date was given.

The facility was built in 1991 and sits on 4.35 acres.

FedEx provided 21 News this response on the closing:

FedEx regularly evaluates its networks and makes adjustments to align with the evolving needs of the business.

The FedEx facility on Salt Spring Road in Youngstown will close later this year and certain team members will be offered opportunities at another nearby FedEx location on Bailey Court in East North Jackson or at the FedEx location on South Hermitage Road in Hermitage.

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.

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 are notified months before any changes take place, and are receiving assistance with finding other employment opportunities within the company, including additional support options like relocation assistance or severance where applicable. 

According to the Mahoning County Auditor's website, the building is owned by Cocca Development.

Earlier this year, FedEx announced it would be closing 29 freight locations by Aug. 13, stating "opportunities to consolidate operations in certain locations" according to its press release.
