Located in the highly sought after I-40 Corridor, RTLP has strategic <br /> access to I-40, I-85 and I-95 trucking routes and to FedEx and UPS cargo facilities. <br /> Ready for construction in January 2021, RTLP will have the capacity for over 2,250,000 <br /> square feet of health technology, information sciences and engineering, advanced <br /> manufacturing, light manufacturing, scientific research and laboratories, logistics, <br /> warehousing and supply chain fulfillment. <br /> RTLP will create facility investment of more than $150,000,000.00 and will provide <br /> employment for up to 4,500 people globally within the Raleigh-Durham MSA and, more <br /> specifically, within the Orange County-Town of Hillsborough economic area. <br /> As governments and health care agencies work to stop the spread of Covid-19 and to treat <br /> those who are infected, manufacturers in more than a dozen industries are struggling to <br /> manage the epidemic's growing impact on their supply chains.
