Officials will conduct a ceremonial groundbreaking Tuesday on a 1 million-square-foot Cooper Tire warehouse and distribution facility in Whiteland. Crews began groundwork last month on the property located at the Mohr Logistics Park.

The Cooper Tire facility will be the inaugural tenant in the new 500-acre distribution park.

Dallas-based Mohr Capital is developing the industrial park in Whiteland. The real estate investment company also developed Cooper Tires’ 800,000-square-foot warehouse in Franklin.

No word on how much is being invested in this property.  The company hopes to finish the project in the first quarter of 2021.
