### **Project Overview**

A large wholesale supplier of natural sweeteners to the baking industry approached FPE with a need to increase on-site storage for finished goods. As a result of shortages during the pandemic, customers requested that the company hold a greater inventory. The company enlisted FPE to study options for expanding their on-site storage. A concept was developed to construct a 170,000 sf warehouse for the first phase of the project, with a future second phase planned.

To accommodate the addition, a large amount of earth was moved and a new storm water detention system was put in place. During the planning phases, a variance was obtained for the project. The project also involved adding new shipping docks, breakrooms, and offices for the warehouse staff.

All project planning, design, permitting, and construction for the project was implemented by FPE.
