Last year, Coca-Cola executives wanted to expand their Central Florida facilities, so Scott Alexander pitched a location that seemed perched at the edge of the Earth. Alexander — president of Kansas City, Missouri-based developer BlueScope Properties Group — looked to develop a 2.4 million-square-foot industrial park near an unnamed graveyard and past where the road ends in west Apopka. The Mid-Florida Logistics Park hosted rows of trees when negotiations started in June 2018 with Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO), which employs more than 1,700 people in the region and 7,000 statewide.
