ROME, Ga. (AP) — Contractors are being sought for a massive distribution center being planned in the northwest Georgia city of Rome, which could bring hundreds of new jobs to the region.

Plans for the distribution center known as Project River have been in the works, but the corporation behind the project has been a mystery.

The Rome News-Tribune reports that a North Carolina firm has taken out legal advertisements seeking workers to do paving and other work for a Lowe's Home Improvement distribution center in Rome.

The newspaper has reported that Project River, planned for the new 375-acre North Floyd Industrial Park, could bring more than 600 jobs to the site.
