FedEx To Develop $56M Facility in Long Island City

NEW YORK CITY-FedEx Ground will close its Maspeth distribution center and move to a new 140,000-square-foot facility in Long Island City by spring 2013, company officials told the New York Daily News. The plant, estimated to cost $56 million, will be located on Borden Avenue—the very same block FreshDirect decided to vacate for space at Harlem River Yards in the Bronx.

The move is being driven by the company’s decision to expand its business-to-business shipping operations on a nationwide basis, a FedEx spokesman told the News.
