JACKSON TWP — A proposed 300,000-square-foot warehouse may be the future home of a FedEx regional distribution center.

Sippel Development in Jackson Township has proposed building the warehouse on 68 acres on Tomlinson Drive off Route 528 and near Interstate 79.

The application for a conditional use permit for the project is on the township supervisor’s agenda for their Oct. 16 meeting, said township manager Chris Rearick.

Though nothing is final, Rearick said the developer’s plan for the building is for it to be a regional distribution center for FedEx.

The plans call for a 642-space parking lot, which would accommodate up to 550 employees, he said.

The proposal includes a 5,180-square-foot garage and the 305,540-square-foot warehouse. It would extend Tomlinson Drive as a private road paved to township standards.

Doug Sippel, company president, declined to comment on the prospective tenant of the warehouse until an agreement is reached.

FedEx Ground spokesman David Westrick said the company could not comment on the project.
