Company plans to open this week at the Perryman Logistics Center in Aberdeen
BALTIMORE, MD (October 6, 2016) – XPO Logistics, a global supply chain solutions provider with more than 1,400 locations worldwide, is expanding into Harford County and plans to create up to 400 new jobs. Headquartered in Greenwich, Conn., XPO Logistics is recognized as a top 10 global provider of cutting-edge supply chain solutions, and provides services for truckload brokerage and transportation, last-mile logistics, high-value-added warehousing and distribution, ground and air expediting and other specialized logistics and transportation services. The company employs more than 88,000 workers and has several locations throughout Maryland.
“We are proud that a global industry leader like XPO Logistics sees the tremendous benefits of doing business in Maryland, and in particular along the I-95 corridor,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “With this new facility, XPO Logistics is continuing to grow its footprint in Maryland and creating new jobs and opportunities for our citizens.”
“This is a significant win for Harford County with the influx of approximately 400 new skilled workers into our region, and will result in significant economic impact on the housing and retail sectors, among others,” explained Barry Glassman, Harford County Executive. “Harford County continues to attract companies engaged in the logistics industry based on our unparalleled access to major highway systems, close proximity to major metropolitan areas and ports, and the availability of large, undeveloped tracts of land.”
Maryland Commerce worked closely with Harford County Office of Economic Development to attract the company and assisted in permitting approvals. XPO Logistics will be eligible for state and local tax credits, including the state’s Job Creation Tax Credit.
The 571,000 square-foot warehouse/distribution building that XPO Logistics will occupy was built on a 48-acre site in the Perryman Logistics Center in Aberdeen by Chesapeake Real Estate Group, LLC (CREG) and their financial partner USAA Real Estate Company.
