Baker Commodities, Lineage Logistics Break Ground on Energy Efficient Cold Storage Facility
Baker Commodities, Inc., Vernon, Calif., and Lineage Logistics, Colton, Calif., broke ground on what is said to be the largest-of-its-kind cold storage facility. The new 250,000-square-foot site in Long Beach, Calif., is expected to generate more than 100 new jobs.
The state-of-the-art facility, located in the “Over Weight Corridors” in both the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, will feature a freezer, cooler and refrigerated cross dock for truck, container and rail service. When built, it is said to be the largest near-port facility of its kind in all of Southern California. The environmentally-friendly building will be 20% more energy-efficient than others already in operation.
