Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Privately held, cold storage provider, Lanier Cold Storage LLC (Gainesville, Georgia) is planning to double the size of their cold storage warehouse in Lula, Georgia. (PEC 17001782)

Currently, the company is hammering out the final project design drawings with design-build contractor Bonar Engineering & Construction Company (Jacksonville, Florida) on a project that will add over 200,000 square feet of space to the existing facility located at 3801 Cornelia Highway, about ten miles northeast of Gainesville.
