KAUFMAN, Texas — An Atlanta-based company is lowering the temperature in Kaufman, east of Dallas.
Agile Cold Storage is building a 122,949-square-foot cold storage warehouse and breaking ground on the $61 million project this week, the company said in a release Tuesday.
The warehouse, which will be located in the 200 block of the Texas 34 bypass in Kaufman, will bring about 70 jobs to the area. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held Thursday, and the warehouse is expected to open by the end of the year, company officials said.
Agile specializes in receiving, storage, importing and exporting of cold storage products. The Kaufman warehouse will have different zones based on temperature, including frozen, refrigerated and deep-freeze zones.
Kaufman city officials say the project will be the city’s biggest single industrial capital investment in Kaufman history.
“We have been looking for the right time and place to make an investment in Texas since starting the company 5 years ago and are excited to announce our project in Kaufman, TX,” Agile President and CEO Don Schoenl said in a release. “This project would not be possible without the support of our local food manufacturing partners, the City of Kaufman and the Kaufman Economic Development Corporation.
