WABASH BUILDS IN SALEM

5/6/24

Wabash Communications started construction on a new $1.1-million office/warehouse facility on West Whitaker Street between South College and South Broadway in Salem.

Salem Plant Supervisor Kurtis Gould says the facility will take the place of the current downtown office and replace rented warehouse space elsewhere.  The building will total 11,808 square feet and is being built midway between the block long parcel of property that was the former location of Brown Shoe Company.  Wabash had earlier purchased the land from the city as part of an agreement to build the new facility.

Ground work began last week.  Gould is hopeful the building can be completed by December.

The Salem office will serve the Marion, Jefferson and Clinton County area while the main office in Clay County will serve the Clay and Wayne County areas.
