Boise, ID—Boise Cascade Company (NYSE: BCC), headquartered here, recently announced that it has completed the purchase of a new property with building structures in Gallatin, TN.
“The acquisition of this new facility will allow us to expand our operations in the Nashville market, one of the strongest housing growth markets in the U.S.,” said Jeff Strom, vice president and Building Materials Distribution (BMD) general manager of Eastern Operations.
The 13-acre facility currently has 183,000 square feet of warehouse and office space. The company plans to start construction and site improvements immediately, with a goal to begin operations in the new facility in Q2 2021. The current facility will remain open during the transition. The property was previously home to Fowler Lumber Company, an Appalachian Hardwood producer.
