ScottsMiracle-Gro is building a 1.3-million-square-foot warehouse on an 84-acre Marysville site that will allow the horticulture company to consolidate some of its distribution operations.

The $100 million-plus project is about 70% complete at 12575 Industrial Parkway, about two miles southeast of Scotts' headquarters.

The 40-foot-tall building will include 10,000 square feet of offices, 120 truck doors, and 230 trailer parking spots.

The Dublin firm Crawford Hoying developed the site for Scotts. Contegra Construction, based near St. Louis, Missouri, is building the facility.

“We are absolutely thrilled to help Scotts Miracle-Gro Company simplify and expand its supply chain capabilities through our development of this highly-efficient, modern distribution center,” Nelson Yoder, principal of Crawford Hoying Development, said in a news release.

The center will combine Scotts’ five locations across central Ohio into one and will result in 50 additional jobs this summer.

“This project is one of our key optimization initiatives,” Tom Matthews, chief communications officer for Scotts said in a news release. “We’re investing for immediate efficiencies and accommodating future growth.”

Scotts is expected to start using the warehouse this summer.
