United Parcel Service continues to upgrade its Westlake Industrial Park center that serves its needs while its Westside Industrial Park hub is under redevelopment. It’s a big project. So far, almost $9.37 million has been invested in upgrading the 400,000-squarefoot leased Westlake warehouse, permit records show. Projects totaling almost $1.7 million are in review, which means at least $11 million is being invested in the UPS center. “Only 199 more days until Christmas,” said spokeswoman Kim Krebs in a recent email. It’s now just 195 days. “As you know, this UPS location helps keep packages moving while the Jacksonville hub expansion is under construction,” Krebs said. The work is to prepare for the holiday shopping and shipping season, she said. The city now is reviewing the permit applications that total almost $1.6 million to modify and add conveyor equipment at 12400 Presidents Court. A $980,000 renovation will modify the building. Improvements include unloading doors, two drive-thru doors, a concrete dock, auto shop bays and airconditioned offices and locker rooms. The city also is reviewing a permit for the $600,950 installation of conveyor equipment. SEE UPS, PAGE 2
