"This area of Pennsylvania is quickly becoming one of theleading distribution corridors to the Northeast," Tag Birge, firstvice president and Midwest regional director of Lauth, tellsGlobeSt.com. "Lauth identified this site for its easy interstateaccess and lack of heavy congestion that plagues the distributionparks a few miles away."

The building facility features cross-dock bulk distributionfacility with more than 120 dock doors, 32-foot clear height andparking for up to 400 trailers. Construction is expected to becompleted by May 2009, according to Birge.

Even with a slumping economy and costs of construction and fuelprices rising, building is going as planned. "We are confident themarket will support this development. Given the initial interest inthe buildings we believe now is the perfect time to beginconstruction on the first of the three buildings at Key LogisticsPark," says Birge. "The Central Pennsylvania industrial marketcontinues to grow due to its strong infrastructure and proximity to40 million consumers within a four-and-a-half hour drive."
