3M Expanding In DeKalb

Jessie Schlacks

One of the world's largest manufacturers held a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday for a large new facility in DeKalb.

The new 3M distribution center will be located near the company’s warehouses on DeKalb's south side.

Darcie Peters, manager of 3M’s DeKalb campus, says the company will be more efficient with the new facility.

Business leaders say this could help create new jobs in the future for DeKalb.

It is expected to be completed by next August.
