PERRYVILLE, MD-Construction on a 1.7 million-sf IKEA furniture distribution center is under way, much to the delight of Cecil County officials and local residents. The $50-million project is expected to give the local economy a boost through tax revenues, and by providing as many as 350 jobs.

IKEA Property Inc. purchased the land from Occidental Chemical Corp. in November 2001 for $4.5 million. Located on 131 acres on Principio Road, the center will serve a bevy of new IKEA stores in the upcoming years. The Perryville facility is part of IKEA’s massive expansion campaign–due to begin in 2003–that will create 50 more outlets in the country over the next decade.
