Kimberly-Clark to Kansas City

Located on a 40-acre site developed by First Industrial Realty Trust Inc., Kimberly-Clark will occupy a newly constructed facility in November 2007. In April 2007, Johnson County commissioners approved the New Century AirCenter project that will include the Kimberly-Clark distribution center. "New Century AirCenter is where air, rail and interstate highway come together," said Steve Kelly, deputy secretary for business development with the Kansas Department of Commerce.

In other site-selection news, ProLogis said it had leased a 600,000-square-foot distribution space in suburban Baltimore to an unnamed national retailer of home improvement merchandise.
