Metrolina Greenhouses Expansion Approved

Metrolina Greenhouses, a Top 100 Grower located in Huntersville, N.C., has received the town’s approval on a zoning change that will allow for a 1.5 million-square-foot expansion.

The Charlotte Observer reports that on Dec. 20, the Huntersville Board of Commissioners unanimously approved rezoning about 133 acres to make the expansion possible.

President Art Van Wingerden told the Observer recently that the company hopes to finish grading on the expansion by the end of 2011 and to start construction in 2011 or 2012, depending on market conditions. The expansion will add 35 jobs to Metrolina’s staff of 500 full-time workers, Van Wingerden told the Observer.
