Vermilion Advantage has announced that a new FedEX ground distribution center will be built in Danville, set to open in the fall of 2022. This will be a 217,000 square foot facility, employing a mixture of full and part-time workers.
The location will be just off of Lynch Road, south of Interstate 74, south of SYGMA and west of Fiberteq.
“It’s always a great day in Danville and Vermilion County when an announcement like this takes place,” stated Vermilion Advantage CEO Tim Dudley. “We are pleased a global leader like FedEx sees the value in our community.”
Danville mayor Rickey Williams, Jr added, “Danville has always been a transportation and logistics hub, and we’re thrilled that FedEx has chosen to bolster that capacity. The hundreds of new, good-paying jobs and additional shipping options will be a huge boon for citizens, businesses, and our community.”
