Growing Charleston port helps lure $100M DHL distribution center to St. George
Global logistics provider DHL Supply Chain said Tuesday it will open a $100 million distribution and warehouse center in St. George that will create about 450 jobs.
The planned three-building complex totaling 1.7 million square feet of work space is, in part, a reaction to demand from shippers looking for services near the Port of Charleston.
“We have seen significant growth in this area of the country and customers are even asking us to evaluate opportunities in South Carolina specifically, ” said Steve Hess, DHL’s vice president of real estate development.
