Apparel company moving; adding 150 jobs

MCDONOUGH - Phillips-Van Heusen Corp. says it will relocate its Georgia distribution center to McDonough and add about 150 jobs.

The apparel-making company said Wednesday it will move from its existing facility in Austell to the 852,000-square-foot Liberty Distribution Building in McDonough. It says the move will allow it to double its current workforce and allow for possible future growth.

The company makes heavy use of seaports in its distribution operations, and says the move will enable it to double the volume of products it ships through the Port of Savannah.
