Summary
In 1997, FedEx Ground chose Apollo Subdivision to build a new regional hub. “The proximity to large regional markets such as Chicago was a primary reason the delivery firm RPS chose to build a distribution center here” (The News Gazette, Oct. 21, 1997). The site is one of 28 FedEx Ground hubs in the United States and Canada as of 2005.
The Atkins Group installed the street improvements, utilities and public infrastructure for the FedEx Ground site in Apollo Subdivision, including the signalized intersection and street widening along Market Street. Atkins helped RPS officials secure state incentives and approval for the project.

- The Atkins Group, with Mark Dixon and Joel Barickman, led us through every stage of the design and construction. The new office and factory complex turned out superb. By many, it is considered the premier space of its kind in Champaign/Urbana.
