The new building is located on a 39.26 parcel in Myrtle Beach. The site was chosen because of its ease of access to major highways, proximity to customers’ distribution centers and a strong local community workforce for recruiting employees. The facility will employ a mix of full- and part-time employees that will adjust with seasonal demand.
“Today we celebrate another win for FedEx Ground and Horry County,” said Mike Hagg, Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corporation (MBREDC) Chairman. “Thank you to each person for the planning and hard work that made this possible. We celebrate a great company, investment in Horry County and more competitive paying wages for the workforce. On behalf of the entire MBREDC Board, staff, and partners, I would like to congratulate FedEx Ground on their new facility, past success, and future success.”
