FORT SMITH, Ark — Ed Harmon is expanding his warehouse and logistics footprint in Fort Smith with the acquisition of the 236,000-square-foot former Wal-Mart Distribution Center at 8100 S. Zero St. Walmart announced in January 2018 it would close the facility, which at the time had fewer than 100 workers. 

Harmon, CEO of Toledo, Ohio-based NAI Harmon Group, told Talk Business & Politics his total investment in the property will be between $8.5 million and $9 million, and that he soon hopes to announce a tenant.

“We will be bringing in a tenant with employees to build jobs in this area,” Harmon said, adding that he is working under a confidentially agreement and can’t discuss who the tenant is, how many jobs, or if the tenant will occupy the entire building.
