Work has begun on the new FedEx Distribution Facility in Manitowoc.
According to Mayor Justin Nickels, Setzer Properties has begun site preparation and construction on the 218,000 sq. ft. facility on a 39-acre parcel of land located at the corner of Viebahn and South 42nd Streets.
As the project developer, Setzer Properties has worked closely with the City to extend South 39th Street from Dewey Street to Viebahn Street as well as upgrading the intersection at South 39th Street and Dewey.
The costs for the intersection and road extension were incorporated into the overall project by the developer.
Mayor Justin Nickles voiced his excitement for the FedEx facility, saying “New business development in the City and the associated economic impact continues to be a priority, and we look forward to continuing to work with the company on this project.”
The facility is expected to open in the summer of 2023.
