UPS facility with 540 workers to close in Baltimore County

A large UPS facility off of I-95 in southwest Baltimore County will close at the end of August, laying off 540 workers.

United Parcel Service, Inc., sent notice to the state's labor department on June 20 about the plant's closure.

The facility, at 3901 Vero Road, is 17.9 acres, according to online property records.

It will shut down August 23.

UPS says they plan to reopen with a renovated facility.

The company issued this statement:

As a part of our Network of the Future initiative [webpronews.com] we’re modernizing our Baltimore facility at 3901 Vero Road and will temporarily close the facility on August 23, 2024. Our employees are extremely important to us, and we are working to place as many employees as possible in other positions at our onsite temporary hub or in nearby facilities. We remain committed to working with them throughout this transition and providing support. This temporary closure won’t impact customer service and we have plans in place to continue servicing the Baltimore community. We expect the enhanced Baltimore facility to reopen in late 2025.
