HOBART â Construction of a new $17 million industrial building could start in coming weeks.
Becknell Industrial will construct the 280,000-square-foot facility on 69th Avenue east of Mississippi Street. Paul Thurston, of Becknell, said the building is expected to be finished in February of 2022.
âThis is going to be a world-class building,â Thurston said.
He hasnât named the tenant of the facility, but he said the company handles warehousing and distribution of commercial and industrial building products.
âThis is exactly the kind of company the city should be excited (about),â Thurston said.
The project is expected to create about 120 temporary construction jobs as well as 82 full-time positions.
