A major new logistics hub is coming to Henry County, Georgia. On November 12, 2026, Governor Brian P. Kemp announced that SupplyHouse, a leading online distributor of plumbing, HVAC, and electrical supplies, will invest an estimated $19 million to build a large fulfillment center near Locust Grove. The project is expected to create 330 new jobs.
SupplyHouse Plans $19 Million Fulfillment Center in Henry County, Creating 330 Jobs Near Locust Grove
The facility will span 715,000 square feet of fulfillment space plus 35,000 square feet of office space at 3090 Highway 42. Construction is scheduled to begin in November 2026, with the center projected to be fully operational in 2027. This will be SupplyHouse’s first fulfillment center in the Southeast.
In a statement to AtlantaFi, Katie Kirkpatrick, President and CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber, said “Logistics is part of metro Atlanta’s economic DNA. Our connectivity across air, rail, and road, combined with direct access to the Port of Savannah, helps companies move products efficiently and reach customers around the world.
Why Locust Grove and Henry County?
Company leaders say the expansion is driven by the need to get products to customers faster. Chief Operating Officer Nando Cunha stated: “Every investment we make in our fulfillment network is driven by one goal: making it faster and easier for our customers to get the products they need. By expanding our presence in the southeast, we’re bringing inventory closer to our customers, reducing transit times, and continuing to deliver the reliable service our customers count on every day.”
The new site is expected to boost one-day delivery capabilities for customers in Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas. Locust Grove’s location along Interstate 75, combined with metro Atlanta’s broader transportation network (air, rail, road, and access to the Port of Savannah), made the area attractive.
Governor Kemp highlighted the state’s competitive advantages: “SupplyHouse’s decision to invest in Georgia speaks to the success of our state’s approach to attracting job creators with our unique mix of assets, including our reliable infrastructure network and workforce development pipeline. We’re proud to welcome the company to Georgia and look forward to the jobs it will create, helping more families build their futures in the communities where they live and work.”
Local officials echoed the enthusiasm. Locust Grove Mayor Carlos Greer called the city’s position along I-75 a “gateway to markets across the Southeast.” Henry County Commission Chair Carlotta Harrell noted that the investment will expand job opportunities and strengthen the local tax base, supporting essential services while easing the property tax burden on residents.
