PROJECT SUNRISE ANNOUNCEMENT
Many of our TRIDEC followers may be familiar with the recent Tri-City Herald news article on "Project Sunrise", a 443,819-square-foot distribution center that will be built in Pasco, WA and provide approximately 200 new jobs to the community.  

TRIDEC was pleased to have led this site selection effort locally and cannot give enough credit to our economic development partners at the City of Pasco and the WA State Department of Commerce for helping win this new development for the 
Tri-Cities. This project is a great win for our community and positions the Tri-Cities as a premier distribution location for 
the Pacific NW.  
 
The company plans to have a formal community announcement when construction begins on the $39 million warehousing facility later this year.
