The company, which provides lumber deliveries at more than 70 locations throughout the region, has about a dozen employees at its current offices, and they will eventually move to New Carlisle, Foster said. The company has been in business since 1988.
“The building we are currently leasing we are outgrowing, so we bought that building in Park Layne to move our corporate offices into the front half of the building,” Foster said.
Hoya Vision Care is currently leasing the space and will remain in that office until the end of this year. BLS Trucking will then remodel the roughly 9,000-square-foot office and take over the space as early as February or March of next year. Wenco Inc., a commercial construction company, will continue to lease the back portion of the site for three years.
BLS Trucking will keep a small number of trucks at the site but Foster said it will not be a disturbance to neighbors.
“We’ll have a few trucks at our building there but it’s not like we’re going to have constant trucks coming or going or anything like that,” Foster said.
BLS was looking for a building for about six to eight months and the New Carlisle location seemed like a good fit, he said.
