Now, they\u2019ve become a building that\u2019s expected to give our local economy a major boost.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday\u2019s ribbon-cutting marked more than just the opening of a warehouse, it was the culmination of nearly two decades of planning.<\/p>\n<p>For years, there were discussions about what would fill the space off Coffee Road and Rosedale Highway.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past two years, construction crews finally turned those plans into reality, building what is now the Bakersfield Commons Logistics Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat this represents is called an institutional grade building, meaning its concrete tilt, it has a large truck courts to hide clear heights and its really a corporate that going to handle logistics and supply chains from major companies around the world,\u201d said Barry Hibbard, a real estate broker with ASU Commercial.<\/p>\n<p>Hibbard describes the new facility as a \u201clast-mile logistics hub\u201d, designed to help companies deliver products to customers across Kern County more quickly and reduce frustration when stores run out of certain items.<\/p>\n<p>Even before its opening, the project fueled economic growth by creating construction jobs. Hibbard says that impact will only expand as more tenants move in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith 300,000 square feet of industrial right in the middle of the city. Those are core jobs with limited transportation to get to and from the job, so that\u2019s a significant impact,\u201d said Hibbard.<\/p>\n<p>Hibbard says the site\u2019s development will also generate tax revenue, money that ultimately flows back into the city\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n<p>Developers say the spaces aren\u2019t anywhere near being filled yet, and are counting to encourage local businesses to set up shop right in their own backyard.<\/p>\n<p>Stay in Touch with Us Anytime, Anywhere:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s a story we first brought you a year ago, when the walls were just going up.
