The state is providing a $4 million grant to spur the startup of site work on an Enterprise South industrial park tract where a 1 million-square-foot distribution center is being eyed, a project official said.
On Monday, Hamilton County sought bids for a company to begin the site work in early December, readying the land for a yet-unnamed company that could put up the facility and create 2,000 jobs.
In addition, an Eastside Utility District official said it stands ready to supply water to the business, which county officials have indicated is an Internet-related company.
“We’re going to run the water lines once they sign a contract,” said Don Stafford, the district’s general manager.
The Enterprise South activity involves Project Infinity, which officials and state documents have said relates to a business potentially building a million-square-foot facilities in Hamilton and Bradley counties.
