MACON, Ga. (AP) — Officials say construction is under way on a farm equipment company's distribution center in central Georgia.

Bibb County development officials tell The Telegraph (http://bit.ly/NyyKz8) that the $50 million Tractor Supply Co. facility is on track to open in July 2013.

Company executives have said the 650,000 square-foot distribution center in Macon will employ more than 200 workers.
