What will UACJ Do with Flagstaff, Arizona’s Former Walgreen’s Center?

In Flagstaff, Arizona sits an empty building that was once a Walgreen’s Distribution Center. Now though, the facility will soon have work done on it so it can serve as a manufacturing facility for UACJ Automotive Whitehall Industries. The facility should be ready by April. In order to make this possible, the company is investing $60 million toward the project. In addition, they also plan to create 120 new jobs for now. And, that number is should to increase to 350 over the next several years. So this will be a great addition to the area’s economy and the job market!
