Luverne City Council members and Rock County Commissioners toured construction progress at the Lineage freezer storage warehouse in Luverne’s industrial park Tuesday evening, Aug. 30.
Lineage Logistics is building a 235,000-square-foot cold storage warehouse near Premium Minnesota Pork (which will store its products in a portion of the facility).
Among the information shared during the tour was that 2,500 geopiles underground will support the weight of the building.
The cooler portion of the building is roughly 400-by-450 and 48 feet high.
Construction progress is on track for completion next spring.
The warehouse, with an estimated construction value of more than $50 million, will be roughly the size of four football fields and built to store food products requiring temperatures ranging from minus 20 to minus 45 degrees.
Lineage has indicated it will create up to 75 new “quality paying” jobs in the area to support the operation.
