The Toombs County Development Authority recently accepted proposals for the design-build of a new spec building to be located at Toombs Corporate Center at U.S. Highway 1, Lyons. Dublin Construction Company was awarded the project at the Authority’s regular monthly meeting on September 17, 2020. Construction will be completed in early 2021.
“The Authority’s spec building program has been a very successful recruiting tool for Toombs County,” says Chairman Harry Moses. “Economic developers realize that most companies considering a relocation or expansion project look for existing building space. We’ve got to maintain an inventory of available, publicly-owned industrial sites and facilities ready for occupancy in order to attract industrial prospects to consider Toombs County as a premier location for their project.”
“This will be a 105,000 SF shell building with a 30-foot clear ceiling height, so it is flexible enough to be used for manufacturing or distribution,” says TCDA Executive Director Michele Johnson. “It will certainly be an attractive location for any company interested in locating to our region, so I fully expect a positive impact on the Authority’s investment and job creation efforts.”
