Here's a little something I've found:
(12/16/2002)
FedEx has halted capital projects nationwide, including a 2-year-old plan to build a 120,000- squarefoot, cargo-sorting facility at the Spokane International Airport Business Park, says FedEx spokeswoman Pam Roberson, who is based in Memphis.
The shipping company had been negotiating with Spokane Airports on plans for the new facility since early 2001, Roberson says. FedEx had planned to consolidate its air- and ground-shipping facilities here, an airport representative said earlier. FedEx currently operates out of a 15,700 square-foot building at the airport and at another location in East Spokane.
FedEx's companywide freeze on capital projects is a cost-saving effort prompted by the currently unstable economy, Roberson says. She says FedEx might follow through later on its plans to expand at the airport, but she declines to predict when that would be.
Airport spokesman Todd Woodard says he's optimistic the expansion will resurface once the economy improves.
