FedEx invests $60 million in new Gary logistic center

GARY, Ind. — FedEx broke ground in Gary, Indiana, Thursday.

A new $60 million logistic center will be located next to the Gary/Chicago International Airport and near Buffington Harbor.

The 317,000-square-foot facility is expected to create nearly 600 new jobs.

Gary’s mayor says this will be part of a larger economic turnaround taking advantage of the infrastructure already in place in the city.

There are also plans for a new Gary convention center now in the works.
