Layoff timeline
3 EVENTSThe article reports that True Value is closing its regional hardware distribution center on Olympic Street in Springfield, resulting in nearly 200 workers being laid off as their work is shifted by parent company Do It Best to a Woodburn warehouse. The 520,000-square-foot single-story distribution facility, long owned by W.P. Carey Inc., will be vacated and adds to a growing roster of large vacant industrial properties in Lane County. The layoffs are part of recent closures alongside Bowtech and Pacific Headwear that triggered state WARN notices; Bowtech and Pacific Headwear moved jobs out of state while True Value’s work is being relocated within Oregon. The article frames these cuts in the context of decades-long manufacturing decline in the county and discusses challenges and opportunities for repurposing very large industrial sites.
