John Deere to build 500-job center in Olathe
John Deere today announced it has given the green light to build a marketing and sales center in northwest Olathe that will house up to 500 employees.
No new jobs are immediately expected to be created since the project essentially involves shifting workers from a Lenexa location.
The 126,150-square-foot building will be constructed in the Corporate Ridge Office Park, near K10 and Ridgeview Road.
The employees will provide support and service to Deere sales branches and dealerships in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The company, which currently has operations in Lenexa, proposed building this facility several years ago.
The economic downturn prompted Deere to push the construction plan to the backburner. Now, construction is scheduled to begin in June, with completed pegged for August 2011.
