US Cold Storage (USCS), a provider of refrigerated storage services to the food industry, plans to invest $15m to establish a new refrigerated cold storage logistics facility in Lake City, Florida, US.
The new facility is expected to create 15 new jobs.
Before choosing Florida, the company had evaluated North Carolina and Tennessee as the location for its latest refrigerated cold storage logistics facility.
Governor Scott said that this is a great announcement for the families in Colombia County.
"Every job positively impacts a family, and these 15 new jobs mean a lot to the area," Scott said.
Director of Corporate Development Mickey Hoffmann said that the United States Cold Storage selected the Lake City, Columbia County location to expand given the favorable business climate, in addition to the availability of a qualified workforce and efforts of both the local and state economic development officials.
USCS is a leading national public refrigerated warehouse operator with 34 facilities located in 12 states. The company employs over 1,600 service professionals.
