Construction on this facility will begin later this summer and is expected to be complete in early 2008.

The projects in Virginia and New York will also cost $30 million each. The Albany, New York distribution center will be around 200,000 square feet. This project is not expected to begin construction until early 2008. The Manassas, Virginia facility will be 220,000 square feet with 80,000 square feet of cold storage space. This project is scheduled to begin construction in a few weeks.

Addison, Texas based Construction Management Technology Incorporated has been awarded construction oversight responsibilities for all three projects.
