JULY 2007: AROUND THE STATE, DISPATCHES
LEBANON
Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse has completed a 1.4
million- square-foot distribution center and starts operations
this month. The warehouse, housing and shipping 32,000 products
ranging from power tools to ceiling fans to lawnmowers, will
serve Lowe’s retail sites throughout Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Western Montana and portions of Nevada and California.
One of the largest single-level buildings in the state, the
facility can completely contain 31 football fields and has five
miles of conveyor belts. Construction of the $90 million
project employed 250 people; when the center is fully
operational it will employ 400 people.
