A steady need for warehousing has been a green light for JAG Group LLC of Glens Falls to continue with its plan to build four new warehouse buildings on 33 acres of land near Northway Exit 18 in Queensbury.
JAG Group President Tim Barber said he and his business partners are looking to have the warehouses ready for tenants by fall.
They are currently awaiting final approval from the town of Queensbury and expect no issues with the project going forward. Barber and his partners at Native Development Associates are seeking approval from planners to split the former Native Textiles knitting mill site into a total of six lots. Five of them will range from 2.01 acres to 11.32 acres. The sixth lot will be used for road expansion, aiding in site accessibility.
“I anticipate the sites will be ready late summer for construction, with all approvals in place,” said Barber.
According to Barber, the project will include warehouses ranging in size from 20,000 to 100,000 square feet and will cost about $30 million.
ABD Engineers LLP of Schenectady developed the site plan.
“We have some tenants and are looking for more, have a lot of prospects,” said Barber.
