A $800M Walmart distribution warehouse is planned in DFW.
The City of Lancaster has approved plans for an $800 million project by Walmart, which is expected to create more than 1,300 jobs in the region.
Plans were approved last week for the two-building, 1.9 million-square-foot project, which was only identified as belonging to a “major retailer.” However, Walmart was later named in economic development documents. The retail giant is under contract with two large parcels of land in Lancaster. The news was first reported Wednesday by the Dallas Morning News.
On 292 acres at the southwest corner of East Belt Line and Sunrise roads, Walmart will build a 1.2-million-square-foot fulfillment center. The project will cost about $420 million and is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs within three years of opening.
