Cabinet shop is expanding; new elementary school gets the green light; another McDonald’s?
Several periods of rain have benefitted drought-parched mid-Missouri and Columbia, but it seems that the rain didn’t start falling on a regular basis until construction was ready to start on an addition to Mark Hall Fine Cabinetry at 2620 N. Stadium. At least that’s how shop co-owner Stephanie Hall explained the otherwise welcome rainy weather with a take-it-in-stride laugh.
“We are just flat out of space,” she said on May 15. Ground has been cleared and other prep work has been done for construction to begin, but first some dry weather will be necessary.
The patiently awaiting construction is among the nearly $97 million in building permits issued in April by the Columbia Building and Site Development office and the Boone County Resource Management office.
The city office issued the cabinetry shop permit that entails an addition to the existing cabinetry company, along with work to the north and south shop and showroom. The permit listed a valuation of $390,419 for the 4,032 square foot project. The general contractor is Hercon Construction of Columbia. Columbia-based Questec Constructors, Inc., is among the subcontractors.
The work represents one of six permits for commercial additions amounting to a combined $10.14 million in the April building permit report.
Stephanie Hall said Mark Hall Fine Cabinetry building, which previously housed a granite top manufacturing shop, had been vacant for about seven years when they bought it ten years ago. She said the shop’s showroom and offices will remain in the front of the building, while the back of the property is being expanded for additional manufacturing and shop space.
