International company Axionlog requests approvals to develop a warehouse in North Jacksonville with plans for expansion.
The city and JEA reviewed preliminary project requests in January, after JAX Chamber announced Dec. 10 that the Argentina-based logistics company would establish a consolidation/distribution facility in Duval County.
JAX Chamber said Axionlog would invest $15 million into a facility and create up to 60 jobs in five years. A JAX Chamber jobs report indicates it would start with 25 jobs.
