Moore Haven site promoted for 1,600-acre logistics complex

Lykes Bros. and A. Duda & Sons plan to use about 1,600 acres to develop about 8.5 million square feet of logistics, distribution and mixed-use facilities in the first phase of their integrated logistics center in Moore Haven.

One purpose of the integrated logistics center (ILC) would be to serve as a staging area for backfilling empty containers making their way by truck or rail to ports from Orlando south, said Mark Morton, president of what is being called Americas Gateway Logistics Center.
