NEW YORK CITY-Electronics retailer Best Buy Co. Inc. is close to breaking ground on a massive distribution facility in the Tioga County town of Nichols. The $40-million facility is expected to bring more than 400 new jobs to the area.

Best Buy officials say the exact size of the facility has yet to be determined, but tell GlobeSt.com that it will likely comprise somewhere between .5 million and 1 million sf. Published reports estimate the company will initially build a 650,000-sf facility that will be expanded up to 1.5 million sf over several years.

The complex will supply technology and entertainment products to Best Buy retail outlets in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The company operates seven additional major distribution facilities in Dinuba, CA; Ardmore, OK; Edina and Bloomington, MN; Staunton, VA; Findlay, OH and Dublin, GA.
