Strawberry Point Pull-Out Facility

 

Strawberry Point Development Fund, Inc. presents the newest addition to the Strawberry Point Industrial Park, ITC Midwest LLC. A Strawberry Point Pull-out facility investing in energy reliability and the community.

ITC Midwest LLC is building a storage and “pull out” facility in Strawberry Point to support its work to improve the reliability of the region’s electric transmission system.

ITC will use the facility, located on Highway 3/13 south of Strawberry Point, to store equipment and serve as a show-up site for crews working on electric transmission construction and maintenance project in the area.

The facility will serve as a satellite field location, allowing the company to more quickly dispatch crews and equipment to make repairs or perform maintenance. The company’s nearest full-service warehouse is located in Dubuque, approximately 50 miles to the east. ITC chose the Strawberry Point site based on its central location in the midst of several projects currently underway in the region and planned for the future.

The facility will feature a 7,500-sq. foot heated warehouse/storage building with large overhead door and fenced yard to store equipment. The facility will be completed and begin service by the end of 2012.

ITC, which owns and operates electric transmission lines in the region, already has a large presence in the area. The company owns more than 6,600 miles of lines in Iowa and Minnesota, including approximately 100 miles of line in Clayton County. ITC paid nearly $60,000 in property taxes to the county in 2011.
