A FedEx Ground distribution center will soon be coming to the Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport’s I-59 Supply Chain Park, officials announced Jan. 13. "It's a monumental day for our region," Tom Heanue, airport director, told the Hattiesburg American newspaper. Construction is expected to cost around $12M, and will be the largest – 217, 00 square feet - at the business park. Operations are expected to commence later this year. The company did not disclose an estimate of how many jobs would be available, but David Hogan, president of the Forrest County Board of Supervisors, said they anticipate about 200.
