Bethlehem officials say Nike Inc. plans to build a warehouse in the eastern Pennsylvania city that will bring around 250 jobs and perhaps more down the road.

Mayor Robert Donchez said the company has an agreement to lease a million-square-foot facility in Majestic Bethlehem Center, a 441-acre industrial park largely built on former Bethlehem Steel land.

Donchez said Nike is hoping for a mid-summer opening in the building with plans to bring "in the ballpark of 250 jobs with possible growth in the future."

A message seeking comment was sent to a Nike representative Tuesday.
