DOTHAN, Alabama — Dothan Warehouse plans to invest $8 million to expand its facility in Houston County in the second phase of a growth project, creating 25 jobs and broadening the commercial hub’s capabilities, according to the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce.
Phase 2 of the expansion calls for Dothan Warehouse to enlarge its warehouse space by 30,000 square feet and double its trailer parking capacity. The first phase of the project, valued at $20 million, expanded the facility’s footprint by 75,000 square feet.
“Dothan Warehouse’s expansion will provide a boost to the Wiregrass’ logistics and distribution cluster and open the region to more investment opportunities in the food and beverage sectors,” said Greg Canfield, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “With its diverse dry, cold, and freezer storage portfolio, Dothan Warehouse’s project complements our efforts to spark growth in many critical sectors of Alabama’s economy.
“Adding additional freezer storage capacity positions the facility to offer these services to new food-related companies needing blast-freezing capabilities. We are excited to see them continue to invest in Alabama,” Secretary Canfield added.
