DALEVILLE — WESCO Distribution is moving to a 50,000-square-foot facility across town.
The distribution hub is set to move its Daleville branch to 9101 South Innovation Drive later this year as part of a joint partnership between Briner Building and the Delaware County Redevelopment Commission.
Construction on WESCO’s new location has already begun and is targeted for completion early this fall, according to Mike Swinford, owner of Briner Building. His company, Briner Properties, also owns the Shell building.
WESCO has been in business in Delaware County since 1954. The new facility will house a larger variety of overhead, underground residential, substation/switchyard material and equipment to better service WESCO’s statewide utility-based customers, according to a press release.
“Our county’s economic development focus for the last three years has been to assist those companies that already call Delaware County home,” said Delaware County Commissioner Shannon Henry. “The WESCO project is a prime example of that.”
WESCO expects to expand its offerings in the region to include more broadband internet connectivity and employ as many as 30 people within the next five years.
“Daleville and Delaware County have always been attractive for us," said Curt Starr, broker for WESCO. We worked with Brad Bookout, the county’s economic development director, to overcome several obstacles that ultimately moved this project forward.”
