LSC Communications reported Jan. 3, 2019 it is closing its Lynchburg plant this summer, affecting 369 workers, Mayor Treney Tweedy told City Council members during a work session Tuesday afternoon.

Tweedy said she received notice from the VP for human resources for LSC Communications, formerly known as RR Donnelley, that it will permanently close the LSC facility in Lynchburg, located at 4201 Murray Place.

LSC Communications was purchased by Quad Graphics last fall, Tweedy said, and while the city’s economic development staff has been in close contact with the company, she hoped the outcome would not be a closure.

The plant is expected to close by the end of June, she said.

"Working with the Virginia Employment Commission, our mobile workforce center and the city’s economic development office, the Commonwealth of Virginia will deploy its rapid response program and expects to begin meeting with the company and its employees in the next few weeks," Tweedy said.
