As part of their new facility, Bradshaw Home will partner with NFI. The logistics company has a strong presence in Savannah, according to officials, including warehouses and transload facilities, in addition to dedicated and port drayage terminals.
NFI has also partnered with the Georgia Ports Authority to create a new transload facility at the Garden City Terminal, which is expected to open later in 2023.
The Bradshaw distribution center in Effingham will be 1.2 million square feet and, according to state officials, will be located at the Savannah Portside International Park near Meldrim in November.
“We are pleased to welcome Bradshaw Home to our community,” Matt Saxon, Chairman of the Effingham County Industrial Development Authority, said. “We owe a special thanks to our development partners at Panattoni Development Company for their investment and helping attract world-class companies to Effingham County.”
