Nordstrom said the upgrades are to improve plant safety, operating efficiencies and overall capacity. Specifically, five additional buildings/storage bins will be built, and two existing buildings will be modified.
The Martin County Economic Development Authority heard the news Monday from Fairmont economic development coordinator Linsey Preuss, who presented them with a proposed $100 million project.
