Home Depot RDC

The Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer, is building a Rapid Deployment Center (RDC) at Salem's Mill Creek Corporate Center.

The Company plans to bring 175 jobs to the community initially and eventually create 250 total jobs in the next four years.

The new 465,000 square foot facility will reside on a 52.6 acre lot near Highway 22.  Construction began last December and work on the facility continues. The pad site development and footings are complete, and the floor slab should be complete very soon.  The company plans to complete construction and occupy the facility by this fall.

The Mill Creek Corporate Center is part of the Mill Creek Industrial Park Urban Renewal Area which encompasses over 828 acres of relatively flat land.  In a collaboration between the City of Salem and the State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Jones Salem, LLC, a Kansas City developer, has constructed the first building at Mill Creek Corporate Center.  On Tuesday, October 28, 2009, the FedEx Corporation conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony at their new facility.

When completed, the Corporate Center is projected to generate approximately $400 million in private investment, creating over 5,000 new jobs in the next 15 to 20 years.   

See the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) for updates on land sales and requests for proposals or the Strategic Economic Development Corporation (SEDCOR) for a brochure.
