Tree clearing has started ahead of the construction of the Exeter Property Group’s first warehouse along Route 940 in Kidder Township. The property is about a mile east of the Pocono Interchange of the Pennsylvania Turnpike where it meets Interstate 80.

The building planned for the site is over 921,000 square feet, and will be built roughly parallel to Route 940. It’s offered with 187 dock doors, and parking for more than 300 trailers, plus nearly 290 parking spaces for employees. Construction was estimated to take a year.

Building contractors are expected on site soon after the end of winter weather.

The Exeter Property Group has a second warehouse site across Route 940. Road work for this project will also prepare an entrance to that property. There is a third warehouse proposed for Kidder, also on Route 940 near the eastern edge of the township, by a different developer. That project may also be under construction later this year.
