FedEx is building a new distribution center in Pittsburg, Kansas. The City of Pittsburg and Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce made the announcement today. Officials expect the center to open this fall. Crews are building the 250,000 square-foot FedEx Ground facility next to Kansas Crossing Casino. The new distribution facility is slated to open in October of 2022. “The new FedEx Ground distribution center is a tremendous development for Pittsburg, the region and our state,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “I am so grateful for the collaboration between the Kansas Department of Commerce and the Kansas Department of Transportation in support of FedEx Ground’s fast-moving investment plans. Completion of the four-lane U.S. 69 highway expansion to Pittsburg was a critical part of this business investment and growth of our economic development capacity in Southeast Kansas and our state.”
