WastAway building is on the market

WastAway is in the process of moving out of its facility on Belmont Drive and transferring its entire operation to the Mt. View Industrial Park in what is widely known as the former Findlay building. To the best of my memory, WastAway has been operating in that facility for about two years so I should probably stop calling it the old Findlay building.

WastAway was pretty much forced out of the city limits by nearby residents who didn’t like its smell. Fortunately, the company has landed on its feet and will no longer be in a heavy residential area in the Mt. View Industrial Park. It also means the Belmont Drive building will soon be empty so it is currently for sale.

“It should be a very attractive building and that’s one reason I bought it,” said WastAway CEO Floyd Bouldin. “We’ll try to sell it to somebody who won’t stink up the neighborhood and who will bring jobs to McMinnville.”

Warren County director of economic development Don Rigsby said the building is already listed as available on the county’s Web site and he has received some interest in it.

“That building is going to sell,” said Don. “I’ve already got too many leads for it not to. I’m considering it like a spec building.”

The building has a concrete foundation, high ceilings, plenty of parking and relatively easy access. It’s 136,000 square feet and sits on about 15 acres.
