It was announced recently that a new FedEx ground distribution center will locate Weatherford.
FedEx officials say that the 30,000 square foot FedEx ground distribution center on Frontage Road in Weatherford is scheduled to open this summer, and will replace the smaller existing ground operation center. The facility will also employ both full and part-time positions, including current employees. The announcement also said current employees located at other FedEx facilities will have the opportunity to transfer to the new Weatherford location if they chose.
Officials also say the operation also will contract for package pickup and delivery services with local service provider businesses which hire locally for driver, helper, manager and other positions.
FedEx says the site was chosen because of its ease of access to major highways, proximity to customers’ distribution centers and strong local community work force for recruiting employees.
FedEx officials say the company will lease and utilize buildings from a company at the location.
