Site preparation is well under way for the Hooker Furniture distribution facility in Tradeport East and the Liberty County Development Authority has approved more than $5.2million in revenue bonds to help finance the project.
Hooker is expected to employ about 50 people in the 800,000 sq. ft. building. A Liberty County Superior Court judge is expected to validate the bond issue Dec. 21, when the case of State of Georgia vs Liberty County Industrial Authority and Tradeport East LLC will be heard. Authority Attorney Kelly Davis told the members that the LCDA had “no responsibility whatsoever” for the bonds issued in its name.
