Valley Cold Storage & Transportation, the largest refrigerated warehouse and transportation in New Mexico, has completed construction on a 100,000-square-foot expansion on its existing 107,000-square-foot facility located in the Santa Teresa Westpark. The company is investing $16.5 million, and 10 new jobs will be created in the company’s workforce over the next three years.
The company will receive up to $150,000 in Local Economic Development Act funds (LEDA) for the expansion. This program is offered to qualified companies interested in creating jobs in the state, and is managed by the New Mexico Economic Development Department.
Valley Cold Storage and Transportation was established in 2008 with a 75,000-square-foot refrigerated warehouse in Las Cruces. In 2016, the company broke ground on a new facility in Santa Teresa to double its capacity. Now in 2019, Valley Cold Storage is expanding its current facility to increase operations. Clay Bush, president and CEO of Valley Cold Storage, states “We are excited for the continued the opportunity serve the growing needs of the southern New Mexico, West Texas, and northern Mexico regions. We would not be where we are today without the support from our local community.”
