Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The U.S. Southeast region remains a top destination for both domestic and foreign investors, with low tax rates and a non-union workforce making the region particularly attractive to the Industrial Manufacturing Industry. Industrial Info is tracking $12.7 billion in construction kickoffs in the region that are slated for the second half of 2017, almost half of which are attributed to Industrial Manufacturing; the Power Generation and Alternative Fuels industries also are major players.
Click on the image at right for a graph detailing planned second-half 2017 project kickoffs in the U.S. Southeast region, by industry.
The Southeast region includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee.
Within the Industrial Manufacturing Industry are a variety of segments that could see new, improved and expanded facilities, ranging from automotive to household goods: Hyundai Motor Group (Seoul, South Korea) is planning a $400 million auto assembly plant expansion in Montgomery, Alabama, which would add another production line to meet growing demand; and LG Electronics Incorporated (Seoul) is planning a $250 million washer-manufacturing plant in Clarksville, Tennessee, for its laundry-equipment business.
Municipal projects also are in the works: The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority is planning a $361 million electrical power system rehabilitation in Atlanta, Georgia, to upgrade and replace aging equipment. All three projects are in their planning phases, where plenty of market-related factors could increase, decrease or eliminate the expected spending. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Hyundai, LG Electronics and Atlanta power projects.
Packaging and distribution centers also are cropping up: United Parcel Service Incorporated (NYSE:UPS) (Atlanta, Georgia) is seeking permits for a $196 million expansion of a package distribution center in Jacksonville, Florida, which would boost capacity 33% to 80,000 packages per hour, while FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX) (Memphis, Tennessee) is set to build a $189 million distribution center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to reinforce warehouse operations. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the UPS and FedEx facilities.
Although the region's Gulf Coast area does not boast the massive number of natural gas-related projects as Texas or Louisiana, it is seeing its own share of the buildout: SeaOne Holdings LLC (Houston, Texas) expects to begin construction on its $450 million compressed gas liquids (CGL) storage and export facility in Gulfport, Mississippi. The company plans to build a steel-piping containment system with a capacity of 25,000 metric tons per day of CGL. The product will be shipped to FTA-approved countries in the Caribbean for a 30-year term. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
The Alternative Fuels Industry is looking at two possible kickoffs in the U.S. Southeast: Highland Pellets LLC's (Boston, Massachusetts) $200 million fuel-pellet mill in Blue Ridge, Georgia, which is expected to produce 500,000 to 600,000 tons per year of wood pellets for export to Europe and Asia, and Southeast Renewable Fuels LLC's (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) $175 million ethanol plant Clewiston, Florida, which is designed to produce more than 22 million gallons per year, using sweet sorghum as a feedstock.
On the municipal side, the Miami-Dade Water & Sewer Department is planning a $200 million desalination plant in Miami, Florida, which would process brackish water into 20 million gallons per day of potable water. All three projects are in their planning phases. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the fuel-pellet, ethanol and desalination projects.
