Center creates about 90 jobs

Distribution site for FedEx

JACKSON TWP — About 230 jobs are expected at the new FedEx distribution center on Tomlinson Drive.

FedEx spokesman David Westrick said Friday that 139 employees in other Pittsburgh FedEx locations have been offered the chance to relocate to the township center, planned for an August opening.

No job losses are expected from the move.

“The big thing is this is a growth story. We’re adding another facility and not closing anything,” Westrick said.

The employees will come from FedEx centers in Clinton and Greensburg and on Neville Island.

Westrick also said about 90 new jobs total will be created.

Earlier reports from township officials and others said the distribution center might have 400 to 500 employees. Westrick would not elaborate on those earlier projections.

“We wait until we’re very close to opening to set those projections,” he said.

The distribution center will have about 300,000 square feet of space. A 20,000-square-foot addition for lab testing not in the original design is also planned.
