Lake Park - Construction is underway a much-anticipated project in Lowndes County that will create hundreds of jobs.

This 89-acre site at the Lake Park Industrial Authority will be home to Home Depot's Regional Distribution Center.

The nearly $40-million project is expected to create 600 jobs.

The Lowndes County Industrial Authority hopes having a Fortune 100 company like Home Depot move in will help them recruit other big name manufacturers to the community.

The Center is slated to open in the first quarter of 2009.
