Americus Compress Co to rebuild new plant after fire
After a two month wait for insurance, Americus Compress Co will begin erecting a new, modern plant for Americus. Officials say the building will be larger and more up to date than the one burned on February 2, with increased platform space and shed area nearly doubling the size of the old plant. The Central Railway plans added track space to handle more loaded cars, and a decision on reusing old machinery will come after a thorough inspection of the burned plant’s equipment.
