New details are emerging about FedEx’s plan to expand its Northern Kentucky hub in Independence.
The package delivery service wants to purchase 80 acres of land to construct a 355,000-square-foot expansion on its existing distribution center, according to a report released by the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority.
