DUNCANSVILLE

FedEx closing local location

FedEx has announced plans to close its Duncansville facility as of May 4.

“As part of our previously announced network transformation strategy, the FedEx facility on Route 764 in Duncansville will close in early May. Team members at the facility were notified several months in advance, and certain employees will be offered other roles within the company. For customers who have historically used this location for package drop off, other locations providing these services can be found at fedex.com,” said FedEx spokesman David Westrick. “These decisions are never taken lightly and reflect our commitment to supporting affected employees — through job placement assistance, relocation aid or severance, as applicable — while transforming our network and continuing to provide an outstanding experience for our customers.”
