YRC  Worldwide Inc. is selling a 270,000-sq.-ft. building in Akron, OH, as  part of plans to reduce its presence in Ohio, the Akron  Beacon Journal reports.

The facility is the former headquarters of Roadway.

The sale of the building at 1077 Gorge Blvd. will prompt the  move of at least 100 employees to other Ohio facilities. Another 50 employees  will have the option to move to jobs in Kansas, South Dakota and Iowa. Between  50 and 100 Akron workers will be let go, according to the report.

California-based Industrial Realty Group Owner Stuart  Lichter — who is also developing the Goodyear headquarters  in Akron — is acquiring the property from YRC. A sale price has not been  disclosed, but Summit County appraised the building and land at about $8.5 million,  the newspaper reports.
