Bedford Park's FedEx Expansion To Create 60 Jobs |
| Given the latest economic news in the Bedford Park business/industrial district, one might not think the national or local economy was even suffering much. After all, it's not every day a major commercial enterprise adds jobs to the local economy of late.
Mayor David Brady presided over a July 8 dedication ceremony of a major FedEx expansion and he is most pleased about the number of new employment opportunities the move will make.
"FedEx has added on to their existing facility and we're expecting 60 jobs to be created", he said, noting the major package distribution company has added more stations for delivery and distribution as well as a brand new sorter.
"To get any new jobs right now is a Godsend", he said. "We're very thankful of their interest in Bedford Park and we are very interested in working with a company of that caliber."
The company has been at 5151 West 73rd Street in Bedford Park for nearly a decade.
