LATHAM — Beech-Nut officials are calling for the Florida Planning Board to give its blessing this week to the site plan for the company’s proposed headquarters and baby-food manufacturing plant.
The Planning Board will meet Thusday in a special session to decide whether Beech-Nut can begin building the proposed 635,000-square-foot facility on Route 5S between the Target Distribution Center and the Mohawk Mills housing development.
Beech-Nut President and Chief Executive Officer Christoph Rudolf said Friday the plans need to be approved soon so the company can start construction in time to prevent delays in its production schedule.
Jim Ivy of the Facility Group, which was hired by Beech-Nut to manage the construction project, said he has cut out all the possible slack in the building schedule to make up for time lost in the permitting process.
