Valley Cold Storage and Transportation, headquartered in Las Cruces, New Mexico, broke ground on a new 105,000 square-foot warehouse today. The company will invest nearly $14 million, and create up to 33 jobs in Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
This new facility will be the third major expansion in Santa Teresa’s 166-acre Westpark Logistics Center in the last six months. It follows the expansions of MCS Frames and FedEx Ground. Westpark is the first new industrial park to be built in Santa Teresa in the last 15 years, and other tenants FedEx and MCS have both built new facilities totaling nearly 500,000 square feet.
The New Mexico Economic Development Department will contribute $140,000 in LEDA funds toward the construction of the new cold storage facility. LEDA is New Mexico’s closing fund, a tool that recruits new businesses to the state while helping those that are already here grow and thrive.
“We want to thank the Governor, the New Mexico Economic Development Department, the New Mexico Economic Development Partnership and the Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance for partnering with us to make this project a reality,” said Valley Cold Storage and Transportation Owners Clay and Jennifer Bush. “The LEDA incentives provided by New Mexico were a major factor in allowing us to make our expansion in Santa Teresa.”
Valley Cold Storage and Transportation offers state-of-the-art refrigeration and transportation services to the retail, food service, food distribution, and agriculture industries of southern New Mexico and western Texas.
