| ( 20 ) | Plant Consolidation
On March 18, 2015, the Company committed to move forward with a plan to cease operations at its Raritan, New Jersey, plant and consolidate operations into its Newburyport, Massachusetts, facility and other UFP facilities. The Company’s decision was in response to a continued decline in business at the Raritan facility and the purchase of the facility in Newburyport. The activities related to this consolidation are complete. The Company also relocated all operations in its Haverhill, Massachusetts, and Byfield, Massachusetts facilities and certain operations in its Georgetown, Massachusetts facility to Newburyport. The Haverhill and Byfield relocations were complete at December 31, 2015 and the partial Georgetown relocation was complete at June 30, 2017. The Company incurred approximately $2.1 million in one -time expenses in connection with the Massachusetts consolidations. Included in this amount are approximately $180,000 relating to employee severance payments and relocation costs, approximately $1.6 million in moving expenses and expenses associated with vacating the Raritan, Haverhill and Byfield properties, and approximately $360,000 in lease termination costs. Total cash charges were approximately $2.0 million. The Company has recorded the following restructuring costs associated with the consolidations discussed above for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):
