Frito-Lay Inc. is eyeing a site near one of Osceola County’s newest SunRail stations for a one-of-a-kind warehouse that would bring hundreds of jobs to the area.

The Plano, Texas-based subsidiary of PepsiCo Inc. (Nasdaq: PEP) is seeking a property tax abatement for its planned $130 million high-tech fulfillment center, which was introduced during an Aug. 20 Osceola County Commission meeting. Frito-Lay’s plans include building a 286,000-square-foot high-tech service center on 75 acres across from the new Poinciana SunRail commuter rail station, which would employ 200 people when it’s completed in 2021.
