Nice -- in the first paragraph, a pretty specific vision:  


"Call it the FedEx Ground Lehigh Valley Secret Hub.

It would be nearly the size of Allentown's emerging minor league hockey arena. At its peak, it would unload, sort and ship 75,000 packages in the amount of time it takes to watch an episode of "Breaking Bad." Eventually, more than 3,000 people would go to work there every day."
