The Port of Wilmington’s 101,000 square-foot cold storage facility is scheduled for completion in Feb. 2016.
The North Carolina State Ports Authority has teamed up with USA InvestCo. to construct a 101,000 square-foot cold storage facility at the Port of Wilmington.
The cold storage facility, which is scheduled for completion in Feb. 2016, will offer over 11,000 pallet positions and is expected to create over 100 jobs once opened.
“By utilizing this newly created cold storage facility, protein producers will be able to save a substantial amount on transportation costs to ship to their existing markets abroad. Having access to this facility will reduce spoilage, and increase delivery/export times for our customers and businesses in North Carolina,” North Carolina Ports Authority CEO Paul J. Cozza said in a statement.
