Richmond, ME (March 25, 2018) – Site Location Partnership (SLP), a Dallas-based site selection advisory firm, announced that an asphalt company with several locations in Maine is relocating select operations to Gardiner and Richmond, bringing up to 150 workers to their new sites.
On Wednesday, the Gardiner City Council ratified a purchase and sale agreement with Auburn Asphalt, part of All States Asphalt, for two lots in the Libby Hill Business Park, and approved a credit enhancement agreement for the company. The purchase price was $275,000.
Last month, the company also closed on a parcel of property in Richmond at 699 Main St., which is anticipated to have an asphalt production facility with a silo, enclosed propane/gas tanks and a lab building and office.
Ron Simbari, Maine Construction Manager for the company, said the lease is up at Auburn Asphalt’s Windham construction division, and the company plans on centralizing its construction division in Richmond.
“Its existing facilities in Auburn and Windsor will remain where they are,” Simbari said. Both the Gardiner and Richmond locations are close to Interstate 295. “Most of the traffic coming in and out of the facility will be north or southbound on the interstate,” Simbari said.
Gardiner and Richmond officials anticipate an economic bump from the move, with additional employees working from those locations, and additional excise tax anticipated from the registration of vehicles.
