LANCASTER – Construction begins in July on additions to a $70 million bottling plant that will create 70 jobs.
Niagara Bottling LLC’s more than 1.2 million-sf industrial project will be on 70 acres at 1535 E. Belt Line Rd., south of I-20.
New details about the development were filed with the state this week saying the $13 million building will open in early 2024. That cost figure doesn’t include equipment.
Austin architect Merriman Pitt Anderson is designing the addition to the plant. It includes a two-story office space, lab room with upstairs utility area, and processing support rooms.
California-based Niagara Bottling will receive at least $2.5 million in tax rebates for the project.
When completed, the new facility will bottle private-label brands for retailers including Walmart and Costco.
