The shovel went into the ground as Denmark-based DSV - Global Transport and Logistics, a global leader in transport and logstics - announced details Wednesday to build a distribution warehouse facility in Innisfil.
The 1.3 million square foot facility located in the area of Highway 400 and Innisfil Beach Road is anticipated to be operational by August 2025 and create about 225 jobs.
"The groundbreaking of DSV's new facility is not just about the construction of a building; it's a symbol of growth and potential for Innisfil," says Innisfil Mayor Lynn Dollin. "We are dedicated to making Innisfil Heights a prime location for investment, and DSV's decision to establish their facility here is a testament to our town's bright future."
