Jacobsen will lay off about 200 employees as it shuts down its Charlotte operations, according to a filing with the North Carolina Department of Commerce.
The turf maintenance equipment company filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification letter Thursday announcing the layoffs at its Charlotte location will occur by Dec. 31.
Parent company Textron decided to integrate Jacobsen into its specialized vehicles division based in Augusta, Georgia, and will move the work being done in Charlotte to the Augusta facility.
