A logistics center with an area of 10 hectares will be established in the territory of Azerbaijan’s Sumgait Chemical Industrial Park, Nazim Talibov, director general of the industrial park, told reporters in Baku July 31.
"The logistics center will be able to support the Green Corridor project, to be located in a 10-hectare territory of the park,” he said. “Design estimates are ready. The construction of the center will be launched in 2019. The project cost has not been set yet."
Talibov stressed that the logistics center will support the residents of the park in export-import operations.
