Mountain Top Furniture says it seeks two industrial lots for 20,000–30,000 sq. ft. warehouse
Summary
Mountain Top Furniture owner Brad Lester told the Union County Development Authority on May 11 he is interested in two industrial park lots totaling roughly seven acres (about 3.5 acres usable) to build a 20,000–30,000 sq. ft. distribution warehouse; the company projects 3–4 new jobs in year one.
Brad Lester, owner of Mountain Top Furniture, told the Union County Development Authority Board on May 11 that his company is interested in acquiring two lots in the industrial park that total approximately seven acres, about 3.5 of which he said are usable, to construct a 20,000–30,000 square‑foot building for warehousing and distribution.
Lester said the location would not include retail sales. He told the board the company currently employs 20 people, expects to add three to four positions in the first year after an expansion and hopes to double employment over the next decade if the expansion proceeds. The board did not act on a sale at the time of Lester’s presentation.
Chairman Rick Davenport introduced Lester to the board. The minutes record Lester’s description of lot size and building plans but do not record a purchase agreement or a specific parcel number tied to his inquiry.
Next steps: the board later entered executive session to discuss property pricing and ultimately set a sale price for two BARIP parcels later in the meeting (see separate article on the board’s property sale action).
