Nearly 250 Lexington workers will be losing their jobs when Verizon closes its call center there in March.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports the company told employees at the center about its plans on Monday.

Communications Workers of America Local 3372 President Joey McCarty says the facility has 230 hourly workers represented by CWA and about a dozen managers.

McCarty says workers will be offered two types of severance packages under their contract. He says the facility's final day of operation will be March 28.
