GROVELAND, FL-Home Depot Inc.’s 80 Florida stores will soon be on a fast-track to receive next-day inventory deliveries. The Atlanta-based home improvement company plans to build a $6 million, 121,392-sf transfer-point distribution facility that will load products from manufacturers at the front door and then immediately ship them out to its statewide retailers through the back door of a 1,000-foot long building.

Ford Industrial Park, 25 miles west of Downtown Orlando. Among the park’s current tenants are Goodyear, Circuit City, Marriott, Sprint and Domino’s Pizza.
