New Balance Athletics plans to invest $68.5 million in a new distribution center in Lebanon, TN.

New Balance, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and the Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Stuart McWhorter shared the information.

Located in the Speedway Industrial Park, the New Balance facility will support a portion of its digital commerce business and service its wholesale and retail operations for its apparel business.
