The most challenging part of a project is often what you don’t see. Our Civil Engineers started with a vacant property, which included wetlands, existing utilities crossing the site, and the abandonment of part of a public cul-de-sac to prepare the site for a 224,000 SF food processing facility. The site is designed with enough room for another 240,000 SF expansion.
