Members of the Woodbury Municipal Planning Commission got their first view of expansion plans for a local industry. Crane Interiors plans to add an additional 24,000 square feet of space. The expansion will include, 4,000 square feet of office space and 20,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
The new addition to the plant will be on the left side of the building and will extend into the current parking lot. The plan calls for a new parking area behind the facility. No announcement was made concerning if the additional space will translate to additional employees.
The plans for the expansion were approved by the planning commission.
For the past few months, planning commission members have been studying plans for an apartment complex at 309 McMinnville Highway. The .68 acre tract is adjacent to O’Reilly Automotive. The complex will consist of two buildings. The developers are Michael J. Hutchins and Faron Layne Ferrell. Commissioners approved the final plat.
During last month’s meeting, Steve Smith submitted a request to expand Smith Storage by adding a second building. The space of the expansion is not inside of the city limits of Woodbury. Smith (doing business as SLB Partnership) requested annexation of property and services of the city. Commissioners passed a resolution for the annexation of the property and expansion of city services. The resolution will now move to the Mayor and Board of Alderman for their approval.
