Palmetto-based Zirkelbach Construction will build the new 123,367 square-foot, FedEx ground regional distribution facility in Manatee County.

The center will be in the 136-acre Port Manatee Industrial Park, just east of Port Manatee off of U.S. Highway 41.

The project consists of 6,138 square feet of office space and 117,229 square feet of distribution space, with associated site improvements and associated automobile parking spaces and maneuvering areas.

The construction of this project is scheduled to break ground this month, and is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of next year.

Zirkelbach was also retained to provide mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and structural engineering for this new facility.
