FedEx Ground says it's building a distribution center in Fort Worth that will employee about 375 people.
The company announced the new facility Friday. The new distribution center, expected to open in August 2015, will be located near the company's Southwest Regional Sort Hub at Alliance Airport.
FedEx Ground says it currently has six facilities in the Fort Worth area and employs more than 2,800 people.
Jesse Bull, a spokesman for FedEx Ground, says two smaller facilities will close after the new, larger distribution center opens.
The company says it's expected that the new facility will boost daily package volume capacity and enhance FedEx's delivery speed.
FedEx has about 600,000 square feet of space at Alliance, where it employs more than 800 workers.
