Currently, the site is primarily used for storage of pipe in various stages of processing. The proposed expansion would involve the removal of two existing buildings and the construction of three new buildings, including two warehouse/production facilities and an office building. Parking will be constructed as required by ordinance, and utilities exist on the site to handle expected demand to meet the requirements of the City.
