Litehouse Foods will be opening a new 88,000 SF manufacturing facility in Washington County. The new facility will bring hundreds of jobs to Washington County. The Windfalls Industrial Building in the Gateway Industrial Park off of Exit16 in Hurricane was recently sold by Roger Stratford at NAI Utah Southern Region. The property was built in early 2008 as a spec building with the hope that it could be leased to a distribution or manufacturing company. Because of the recession, the building sat vacant for nearly three years, during which time the lender foreclosed on the property. They chose Roger and NAI Utah Southern Region to help market and sell the building. Regarding the transaction, Roger said, “This is a great success for Washington County. It required the cooperation of state and local government agencies as well as local contractors in the area who will help build the facility to the new owner’s specs. We were competing with other cities across the Southwestern United States. Having Litehouse Foods choose Washington County is a great win for our community.” This was a significant enough event that the Governor made the formal announcement on Friday, October 29th.
