A section of Factory Shoals Road will be closed Sept. 9 to an expected completion date of March 31 in preparation for the new Federal Express facility in South Cobb.

C.W. Matthews Contracting Co., Inc. will align vertical curves and install curb, gutter, sidewalks and paving on Factory Shoals Road from Six Flags Road to White Road.

The roadwork is estimated to cost nearly $2.3 million with the county paying about $2 million from the 2011 SPLOST funds and $300,000 from a Georgia Department of Transportation grant.

Cobb also will pay $206,549 to relocate Georgia Power facilities.

Commissioner Lisa Cupid said the facility will provide 300 new jobs.

SunCap Property Group will develop the facility as the company has done for three FedEx distribution centers in New York and one in Nevada.
