Laundry processing facility planned in Oak Creek
Crothall Laundry Services, a division of Crothall Healthcare, announced it has signed a build-to-suit lease for an 82,950-square-foot central laundry processing facility at Creekside Corporate Park, located on the east side of I-94 and southwest of South 13th Street and Helm Street in Oak Creek.
A spokeswoman for the Wayne, Pa.-based company said the firm expects to hire 140 employees to work at the Oak Creek site in the first year and up to 250 employees by the end of its third year in operation.
The structure, which will be built on a 5.64-acre site, will be developed by CenterPoint Properties.
"Crothall is excited to be investing in the Oak Creek community to build our first laundry facility from the ground up and to LEED specifications. This commitment would not be possible without the support and partnership of Aurora Health Care. We anticipate that this will be a great opportunity to share in their future success and that of the area’s other great healthcare providers. This state-of-the-art facility will utilize the industry’s most environmentally friendly equipment, processes, and chemicals, and will support the community by creating jobs at a time when they are most needed," said Crothall Healthcare president Steve Carpenter.
"Crothall’s facility will be developed using current environmental friendly construction techniques. We are delighted to partner with them and help meet our client need for an environmentally responsible facility," said Edward Harrington, senior vice president of development at CenterPoint Properties.
