After just announcing it will build a new warehouse in Chattanooga, Tenn., word is out that American Tire Distributors is also adding a distribution center in Morton, Ill., according to local reports.
ATD is reportedly investing $6 million in the DC, which will generate up to 40 jobs. The city has approved a two-year, 60% property tax abatement in 2013 and 2014. The estimated $134,000 in tax abatements will help pay for soil removal on the site.
ATD has 97 distribution centers in 40 states. It serves more than 124,000 tire, wheel and automotive service retailers nationwide.
