New Industrial Projects on
Tap in St. Johns County
While St. Johns County attracts
attention for its leisure activities
and community development,
the county is also attracting new
industrial projects.
Two projects in process are
expansions of beer distributor
Burkhardt Distributing Co. and
MAS HVAC, which designs and
builds commercial air handlers.
Burkhardt has been operating
in St. Johns County since 1989 but
because of its growth, it needs a
bigger facility. County commissioners
approved $426,141 in
incentives to help the company
build a new $11-million, 113,000-
sq.-ft. facility that will become
its headquarters and distribution
center.
The company, with 84
employees, may also expand the
building further as it grows.
MAS HVAC is currently
headquartered in Green Cove
Springs, but will move to a
32,400-sq.-ft. facility in St. Johns
once that building is completed.
MAS HVAC will receive up to
$160,000 in tax incentives for the
$4.15-million project.
The company had 17 to 18
employees when its incentive
application was approved but
said it expects to double that after
the move, with jobs that pay an
average of $61,000.
