Erie-based Logistics Plus has opened a new 542-thousand square foot warehouse in Phoenix, Arizona, the company announced Tuesday.

The facility is located next to the Luke Air Force Base on the western side of Phoenix, which provides easy access for west coast imports and exports and southwest storage needs.

"A portion of the facility will be filled immediately with clients from our growing solar and technology sectors," said Tom Kelly, who will oversee the warehouse's operations, in a news release.

This is the company's second-largest commercial warehouse.

Logistics Plus also manages warehousing facilities in southern California, Dallas, Chicago, Charlotte, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.
