GREENWOOD — FedEx has changed its mind, and that's good news for Johnson County.
Three years ago, FedEx announced plans for a ground distribution facility near the Interstate-65/Worthsville Road interchange.
Two years ago, FedEx decided not to build there because data at the time indicated the facility wasn't needed.
