WEST VIRGINIA....
Department store giant Macy's Inc. said Monday it plans to build a $150 million distribution center and hire 1,900 full- and part-time employees in Martinsburg in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. The 1.3 million-square-foot facility will fill Internet orders for Macy's in the eastern United States. Work is expected to start next spring and be completed in time for operations to start in April 2012. Macy's said it plans to hire 1,200 full- and part-time employees and about 700 seasonal workers. Chief Executive Terry Lundgren says Macy's needs the operation to meet growing Internet sales.
