STAFF REPORT
Monday, June 4, 2012, 6:30 p.m. — Bardstown Warehousing has announced plans to build a new 100,000 square-foot warehouse facility on land the company owns on Withrow Court.
The story posted Monday on the Lane Report website states the new building will be used as a “distribution, warehouse and logistics center, with possible manufacturing or assembly capabilities.” Chris Monin, president of Bardstown Warehousing, states the facility will create five to 10 new jobs.
“With our experience with distribution and logistics, we are seeing a demand for additional facilities in the region. This should fill the need for the next few years,” Monin told the Lane Report.
The $2 million project includes designs by Studio Kremer Architects and Horizon Engineering of Bardstown. It will be constructed by BCD Inc. of Bardstown.
“As our local manufacturing facilities grow, so does the need for facilities like this,” Kim Huston, president of the Nelson County Economic Development Agency told the Lane Report. “I get calls every week from companies looking for warehousing or distribution space. Facilities like this are vital to the future of our economic development growth.”
Construction is expected to last seven months.
