FREETOWN, MA-TJX's $25.2-million facility will be used to support the company's burgeoning Homegoods division.

FREETOWN, MA-The rebirth of Southeastern Massachusetts as an industrial mecca continues with the latest victory for the area coming from the TJX Co. The Framingham-based retail chain is moving forward with plans to construct a $25.2-million Homegoods distribution center at the site of a gravel pit off Braley Road.

TJX, which also owns such off-brand retailers as Marshalls and T.J. Maxx, hopes to begin work on the massive 800,000-sf building by January, with completion slated for next autumn. Along with the stand-alone building, the 68-acre parcel will also support parking for 500 vehicles and 350 truck trailers.

Company spokeswoman Sherry Lang says the facility will consolidate Homegoods wares that are currently scattered in various company distribution centers throughout the region, none of which are dedicated solely to that operation. While not the company’s largest distribution center, Lang says the Freetown property “will be on the upper end.” Homegoods also operates in Florida, the Midwest and California.
