Benaroya can start Winlock project

Lewis County said that Benaroya Co. can start building Benaroya Pacific Northwest Regional Logistics Center near Winlock, west of Interstate 5 and a little south of Chehalis. Lewis County calls it “the largest remaining undeveloped contiguous land available in the Pacific Northwest.” It is cleared for 5 million square feet of development. The site is SEPA-approved, and a $1.5 million measure for utility extension was approved during the last state legislative session. Larry Benaroya said in a statement, “We think this site is a great opportunity for future industrial development due to its convenient central location between Portland and Seattle, and the fact that SEPA has been completed and utilities are now available to the site.” CBRE's Brett Hartzell is marketing the property.
