Closure of Church & Dwight Geddes Plant Follows Local Job Loss
Central New York faces a double blow as Church & Dwight plans to close its Geddes laundry detergent facility, threatening 145 jobs. Yet the region posts a surprising second quarter rebound with 6,300 new jobs across Onondaga and neighboring counties, lowering unemployment to about 3.7 percent. Strong manufacturing indicators persist with Inficon going public in East Syracuse and Telergy rising in DeWitt, while housing and construction thrive amid population stabilization.
