The property is well-positioned for large trucks with minimal congestion. Union County Economic Development is highly supportive of new business operations at this location, and incentive programs—including property tax rebates for qualifying employers—may be available.

The subject property consists of approximately 30.50 acres, of which roughly 8 acres are developed. The developed portion contains a ±87,500 square foot food processing and cold storage facility with truck access from Simpson Street.

The remaining acreage is mostly wooded, with remnants of concrete foundations from a former World War II prisoner-of-war camp that previously occupied the site.

Utility service to the site consists of water, sewer, electric, and natural gas. The property features an on-site wastewater treatment facility with a permitted capacity of 1,000,000 gallons per day, designed to treat process water prior to discharge into the municipal system.

In addition to the main structure, the site includes a separate maintenance building and a boiler/storage building, both with drive-in doors. The main building also has two drive-in doors at the compactor room for van equipment deliveries.

The entire facility is fenced, with an electronic vehicle gate at the entrance to the parking lot.
