MHProNews has learned from bizjournals that Assurant Specialty Property, which sells manufactured housing insurance, has decided to close its Dayton, Ohio office it opened two years ago. The expansion occurred after client growth filled the Springfield offices. The move will affect 150 employees, some of whom will be able to work from home.

Lower workloads led the company to eliminate 37 jobs in January, followed by 120 more positions dropped in April, some of whom were from the Dayton office. The company has 5,000 employees nationwide, and is part of giant insurer Assurant, Inc., which has 14,500 employees across the globe. ##
