FedEx to Build 300,000-Square-Foot Facility in New Kent County
Construction crews are clearing land off I-64 at Exit 211 near Emmaus Church Road for a 300,000-square-foot FedEx shipping and logistics facility. County officials expect the center to open within two years, with a $40 million investment and 40 full-time plus 300 part-time jobs. Leaders say new tax revenue could strengthen the local economic base, while residents describe it as a turning point for the area.
