BURLINGTON PURCHASE COMPLETE

Town officials have completed acquisition of the former Burlington Industries terminal to use as an industrial park.

Included within the 101 acres, 54 of them visible from Interstate 81, are nine shell buildings of 10,000 square feet each that make up the former Burlington terminal facilities. The town wants to market the buildings to small manufacturers.

Town Council in February authorized a $650,000 bond issue to buy the property.

Six tenants that already rent space at the site, including a Burlington Industries warehouse operation, will generate $107,000 in net annual revenue.

Pulaski County officials are working with Dublin officials to renovate some of the facilities to make them more attractive to prospects.
