SIX THIRTY INDUSTRIAL PARK WELCOMES
NEW RECYCLING COMPANY
Six Thirty Industrial Park - Cape Girardeau, Missouri
Renewable Resources will be the newest
company to locate in the Six Thirty Industrial Park
according to Tom Kelsey, commercial broker with Lorimont
Place, Ltd. who handled the recent sale.
The company will locate on a newly acquired 1.64 acre
site at 1439 Minnesota with plans to build a combined
facility of 5,600 square-feet.
The company owned by Jeramy Goehman of
Jackson, Missouri will be the first in the region to offer
recycling of gypsum wallboard, primarily used in the commercial
and residential construction processes.
The Gypsum Association website reports that
nearly 30 billion square-feet of gypsum wallboard are
manufactured each year in North America.
They estimate that more than one-ton of construction
waste is created in an average residential home construction
project. Recyclers
like the new Cape Girardeau operation will process these into
usable products for the agricultural market eliminating the
waste from area landfills and provide contractors an alternate
way of disposing of their construction wastes.
Kelsey said he understands that Renewable
Resources plans to be open for business by the first of the
year. Estimates are
that 8 workers will be employed when the company opens. A
groundbreaking will take place on Tuesday, October 19th
at 9:00 am at the site.
The Cape Girardeau Area MAGNET along with
other city agencies worked with the company to search out
various site options within the Cape, Jackson and Scott City
areas. Kelsey said he and the industrial park developers were
pleased that Six Thirty was the preferred location for the new
operation. This new
company will be the 19th business to locate there
since the formation of the development in 1989.
