The city of Buckeye gave the final approval needed for Old Dominion Freight Line Inc.’s new interstate motor freight terminal on March 5.

The North Carolina-based less-than-truckload company, (Nasdaq: ODFL), has received the rezoning required to build a new facility with at least 200 dock doors and substantial parking for trucks and employees.

The project is expected to create 300 to 350 jobs with average annual salaries of $80,000, according to the company. The terminal will be used to transfer product between trucks.

Buckeye City Council unanimously approved a general plan amendment and rezoning to designate about 160 acres near Johnson and Yuma roads near Interstate 10 for employment uses.
