FedEx has announced plans to build a $190 million distribution center in Murfreesboro.
The Daily News Journal reports that the Memphis-based shipping company will add the equivalent of 200 full-time positions to work at the 1-million-square-foot facility.
About 40 of the new positions will pay an average of $53,500 per year, while the remaining jobs will pay an average of $24,000 annually.
Brian Hercules, the vice president for economic development at the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce, says that there are hundreds of additional contract jobs like long-haul drivers that will also gain work through the facility.
Construction is set to begin by the end of the year and scheduled to be complete by early 2018.
