Ashe County retained WithersRavenel to provided due diligence and site evaluation services in support of the potential development of a new industrial park on approximately 42 acres along Ray Taylor Road in the Town of West Jefferson.
Our team provided GIS-based site evaluation, preliminary geotechnical investigation, wetland delineation, Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment, master planning, preliminary utility coordination, and preliminary cost estimating. This phase of the project culminated in our team’s joint presentation of the finding along with Ashe County Economic Development to the County Board for consideration.
The final design and construction phase for the project has begun, with completion anticipated in the Spring of 2022. The project is receiving funding from local sources, Golden LEAF, ARC, and loans administered by the local electric cooperative.
