DES MOINES – Construction began Thursday morning for the new FedEx shipping facility at the Des Moines International Airport.
The new facility will provide jobs for the area and is part of a larger improvement plan created by leaders at the airport.
“We’re laying ground for the future here,” said airport Executive Director Kevin Foley.
Airport officials are excited about the new addition.
Construction is set to finish next summer. The new facility will remain as additional construction happens at the airport.
