Construction got underway Monday on a FedEx Ground distribution center in south Parkersburg. A 250,000-square-foot facility is planned to be operational at the site in 2022, according to The Parkersburg News and Sentinel. It will employ a mix of full- and part-time workers and also will contract for package pickup and delivery services. A Fed-Ex spokesperson said the company is working to optimize its capacity to meet increasing demand as e-commerce grows.
