Is new industrial development in your local area generally a positive trend for the community?

Pasco Blue LLC has entered into a purchase agreement for Lot No. 5 at the Reimann Industrial Center for over $1.4 million. The company aims to develop a new facility on the site, replacing a previous plan by LTI Inc. to acquire the same property.

Why it matters

This investment supports regional growth by bringing a new pallet manufacturing operation to the Reimann Industrial Center. The move follows LTI Inc.'s decision to withdraw from the deal due to conflicting project timelines.

Pasco Blue LLC plans an $18 million investment to construct a 100,000-square-foot facility, which is expected to create 40 to 50 jobs. The agreement also requires the firm to reimburse Cold Summit $260,000 for road construction costs.
