FedEx Ground to build new $87M hub in Ohio

FedEx Ground has picked a 127-acre site in Perrysburg Township, Ohio for a new $87 million hub to replace its existing Toledo operation.

The 400,000-square-foot building will be built on Buck Road near the I-75 interchange.

When it opens in 2009, the new hub will have automated material handling technology which can initially process 22,500 packages per hour. When it reaches full capacity, it will be able to process 45,000 packages per hour.

The current workforce of 550 is expected to increase to more than 800.

The project also includes a staging area on a 44-acre parcel of land adjacent to I-75 and the Ohio Turnpike.

The site will have a parking lot for reconfiguring tractor-trailers.

FedEx Ground is a division of Memphis-based FedEx Corp. It operates 29 hubs and more than 500 local pickup and delivery facilities. The company recorded annual revenues of $6 billion in fiscal year 2007.
