WOW Logistics Company® announced today that it is developing plans to build a new, 24,000-square-foot corporate office in the Town of Menasha. The announcement comes as the company entered into a Development Agreement with the Town of Menasha. The proposed site is 7.2-acre plat, located in the McMahon Business Park, south of Highway 10 near the County Road CB exit.
“This project is a result of the exponential growth WOW Logistics Company® has experienced over the last few years,” said Howard Kamerer, president and CEO of WOW Logistics®. “Our growth is due to the successful launch and execution of new supply chain solutions, warehouse infrastructure, and expansion of WOW’s Trade Finance Program.”
He added that this project is the culmination of a true team effort with town of Menasha officials, that included Dale Youngquist, town chairman; Jeffery Sturgell, administrator; and George Dearborn, director of community development.
“The town of Menasha worked hand-in-hand with WOW Logistics® Co. in order to understand our needs and challenges. As a result, we are in the approval process of establishing a new tax incentive district,” Kamerer said.
WOW selected the town of Menasha site after an exhaustive search for the ideal property and municipality in which to expand. Leading that search was Manny Vasquez, vice president of economic development for the Fox Cities Regional Partnership, whom Kamerer called, “an invaluable resource.”
“Last summer we began assisting WOW with the site selection process and brokering a deal that would be appealing to both, the company and the community they selected as their new home,” Vasquez said. “It’s exciting that the project continues to move forward. This new corporate headquarters means a new tax base and the retention of more than 70 good-paying jobs in the Fox Cities, and is yet another example of the power of public-private partnerships.”
WOW Logistics® set a goal of breaking ground on the project in July, with a target completion in early 2017. The progressive building design will focus on collaboration spaces, as well as expanded conference areas. It also will include an innovative cafeteria-style kitchen and dining area, onsite clinic exam room to support wellness programs, and an outdoor pavilion, which will extend work and recreation space outdoors.
“I am excited to be building in the McMahon Business Park, Kamerer said. “With existing development projects underway, like Community First Credit Union, this evolving area will provide a variety of amenities that our employees value, such as restaurants, banking, and daycare.”
