Macy's Announces Closure of Multiple Stores and Job Cuts
The Macy's store at Ballston Quarter in Arlington is set to close later this year as part of the department store chain's plan to cut jobs, including 13% of corporate staff. The closure is in line with a redevelopment plan approved by the Arlington County Board, which will see the demolition of the store and vacant office building to make way for a 16-story, 555-unit apartment complex atop a grocery store. There is no updated timeline for the development, which faced scrutiny from local residents and transportation planners.
