Company Plans To Build Facility at Platteville Industrial Park

A Fortune 500 multinational corporation intends to operate out of a new warehousing, assembly and distribution facility in the Platteville Industrial Park, a $20 million project that, if finalized, would be the largest in the park’s history. Indianapolis developer Scannell Properties is overseeing the construction of the 342,000-square-foot facility and plans to lease it to the corporation, which intends to employ 200 to 220 workers. A contract could be signed in the coming weeks. Construction on the building — located adjacent to Vision Drive and Eastside Road — could begin in April 2021 and be finished by March 2022. The corporation would commit to leasing the premises for 10 years. Platteville Common Council members on Tuesday initiated the process to consolidate five parcels in the industrial park into a nearly 21-acre lot, with the intent of selling it to Scannell Properties.
