Summary
Amazon temporarily ceased operations at its Midway Road warehouse in Port St. Lucie and laid off nearly 300 employees on Sept. 17 as part of a planned $200 million renovation converting the site to a sortable fulfillment center. The company filed a WARN in July notifying of the temporary closure; since that filing more than 200 additional employees were transferred to other Amazon sites and transfer opportunities were offered at 30 nearby facilities. Employees who did not transfer were offered a minimum of four weeks paid severance and remain rehire-eligible; Amazon expects to hire over 1,000 workers when the renovated facility reopens in about two years. Local workforce and economic-development groups held job fairs to help displaced workers find other employment.
