FedEx is closing a pair of facilities in the area and cutting staff in Chattanooga as the package deliverer adjusts its network to align with its business, the company said Thursday.

Plans are to shut locations in Dalton and Cleveland later this year, company spokesperson David Westrick said in an email.

Also, a facility in Chattanooga will see a staff reduction but remain partially open, he said.

Westrick said certain team members will be offered opportunities at other FedEx locations.
