Jay Cornforth, president of the eastern region for Prologis, said the company was drawn to the site despite the complications by its location three miles from Manhattan and a rare opportunity to build a huge warehousefacility.
"Our office has spoken with the Dewhirst director who is keen to promote the facility and find a potential buyer for the warehouse in order to secure in excess of 100 jobs and to keep the custom-built unit in operation, " they said in a joint statement.
