Statement by Council Member Tennell Atkins, Chair of the Economic Development Committee on FedEx Distribution Center Expansion

“In 2006, the voters approved a more than $20 million bond for the development of infrastructure in the Inland Port. Now, more than a decade later we see the continued benefits of this wise decision, including the recent lease of property by FedEx at the Cedardale Distribution Center in Dallas. The more than 750,000 square-foot site is expected to be operational in November 2020.

FedEx’s expansion is a sign of growth and shows business is booming in District 8 and Southern Dallas. They join other great companies the area, including L’oreal, Kroger and Amazon.”
