UPS Inc. (NYSE:UPS) may be coming to Mebane, North Carolina.
Earlier this month, the Mebane City Council approved a “performance agreement” with the Atlanta-based transport and logistics giant to build a $262 million, 525,000-square-foot facility in Mebane’s North Carolina Commerce Park, according to the Mebane Enterprise, a local paper. Mebane is about 32 miles east of Greensboro.
UPS will be able to process about 45,000 packages per hour at the facility, the paper reported. Mebane City Manager David Cheek told the paper that the company plans to create 451 full-time positions and an unspecified number of additional part-time jobs.
