Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories and Rosauers on Wednesday both gave updates on construction projects happening on opposite ends of Moscow.
To the south, contractors are installing mechanical and electrical systems at SEL’s new 162,000-square-foot printed circuit board facility on U.S. Highway 95. According to a news release, the company also received the first shipment of manufacturing equipment to be used in the automated, high-tech facility. The equipment will temporarily reside on the company’s Pullman campus, where the SEL Moscow team will use it for training until the new facility’s interior is completed early this summer. The facility is scheduled to begin producing printed circuit boards in January 2023. SEL first broke ground on the site in June 2021.
Meanwhile on the north side of town, construction work has begun in the corner of the Rosauers parking lot. Rosauers COO Mike Shirts told the Moscow-Pullman Daily News that it will be the site of a store-owned fuel station. He said the company hopes to open the fuel center in May. The center will be an unattended fuel site open 24 hours and people do not need to be Rosauers members to use it. (Lewiston Tribune)
