There has been lots of activity at the construction site since the last update.  The update on July 28th, 2009 showed the first panels being put into place.  Since then all of the walls have been put into place and the first couple of layers of roofing have been put on to the building.  By the end of this week all of the concrete work at the job site will be done and next week the asphalt will be complete.

Over the past couple of months there has been a lot of activity on the construction site.  In June the general contractor was able to get the office and warehouse slabs built.  In July they have been focusing on building the concrete panel walls for the building.  As of today all of those panels are complete and they are starting the assembly process of the new facility.

The construction crews have been working very hard on the new facility site for the last few weeks.  The site has been stripped and the crews are almost finished building the pad for the foundation.  It is expected that by the end of next week they will have the concrete foundations for both the office and warehouse areas done.  Here are some updated pictures to show you the progress of the development.

General Pacific, Inc. is pleased to announce the early ground breaking of our new facility in Fairview, Oregon.

General Pacific is pleased to announce that the drawings for the E&O promotional giveaways have been completed.  Over the past 2-3 months GenPac has been working hard with our users to improve our online ordering and shipping system QuickShip.  As a promotion leading up to the NWPPA E&O conference, which was last week, GenPac decided to give away three 120GB Apple Ipod Classic’s.  What was not announced was that we were also going to be collecting business cards at the conference to be used as a drawing for a free Dell Mini laptop.

In early January 2009 GenPac submitted to the City of Fairview for our building permits.  This process is expected to take about 3 months to complete.  We are still on track for a mid May to mid June construction start date.

General Pacific, Inc. is please to announce that we have secured the land for our new operating facility.  Our new facility will be located in Fairview, Oregon just off the I-84 corridor.  Senior management has been working with the land owners for a little over a year to finalize the transaction so we can move ahead with planning and building stages of the facility project.
