MADISON, Wis. (WFRV) – Charter Communications has announced the permanent closure of one of its Region Operations Centers in southern Wisconsin, resulting in over 30 employees being laid off.
According to a letter sent from Charter Communications to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) on August 28, the American telecommunications and mass media company will be permanently closing its Region Operations Center in Madison.
