MassDevelopment has issued a bond on behalf of D&S Realty LLP, a real estate entity in West Boylston, in order to renovate and expand a manufacturing facility.
The $8 million will fund the expansion of 70 Hartwell St. in West Boylston, which produces compact vehicle cabs, attachments and accessories.
Renovations include building a 110,400-square-foot addition for office, storage and manufacturing space; and making tenant-specific upgrades. The facility is currently leased to Curtis Industries LLC, which distributes vehicular systems to clients throughout North America.
“Central Massachusetts has a rich manufacturing past and present thanks to a highly-skilled workforce and companies like Curtis Industries,” MassDevelopment President and CEO Marty Jones, said in a statement. “MassDevelopment is pleased to provide low-cost financing that will allow this company to expand and bring more manufacturing jobs to the Worcester region.”
D&S Realty selected the McCarty Cos. of Leominster as the design-builder for the project. Construction of the facility started in December 2016 and is expected to be complete by September 2017.
Middlesex Savings Bank purchased the bond.
