Dollar General To Build Distribution Center in Janesville

Great news!

State and local officials announced Wednesday that Dollar General will build a 1 million-square-foot distribution center in Janesville that by 2019 would employ 552 people.

While the jobs will pay less — $15 an hour — than what had been offered at the now-idle General Motors Assembly plant, the news, coupled with an aggressive building schedule, was welcomed by economic development leaders in Rock County and at the state level who say the project will have an impact not only within the city but the region.

“Dollar General will put the equivalent of nearly 1 percent of Janesville’s population to work,” said Mark Freitag, Janesville’s city manager. “While many businesses have recently chosen to call Janesville home, the scale of the Dollar General project will give a strong boost to the growth of our local economy. This is a great example of collaboration between the private sector and state, county and city government.”
