Towering above Plainville: Blue steel framework of 12-story high-tech warehouse for frozen food

Amidst a small industrial park with low-rise factories, Americold this winter erected a massive structure of metal framework that towers above Plainville. Calling it “some amazing high tech construction,” Gribinas recommended readers of the Southington Talks page see the structure before workers close in the exterior later this spring. When Americold’s roughly 200,000-square-foot warehouse is completed, it won’t be the biggest building in Plainville but it will easily rank as the tallest. The high point of 146 feet will be more than 20 feet higher than the smokestack at the Clean Earth processing plant, Town Planner Garrett Daigle said. Ahold Delhaize USA, parent company of Stop & Shop, contracted with Americold to build twin frozen warehouses in Plainville and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Plainville warehouse will serve a region roughly bounded by Cape Cod and northern New Jersey.
