Kingsbury Ordnance Plant Site To Become Industrial Complex
A consortium led by Kingsbury Industrial and Development Corp., chaired by James W. Franks, plans to convert the former Kingsbury Ordnance Plant near La Porte into a large industrial park. About 1,000 buildings will be leased or sold to trucking, warehouse, and agricultural firms, with Walter J. Cotton as president. The plant, once exporting wartime shells and employing up to 22,000, was deactivated after World War II and revived in 1951 during the Korean War era. The GSA had previously announced the site’s sale to National Exchange Bank of Chicago.
