Daily Record: Michaels expanding warehouse: Council told of Westside addition

This is good news for the west side as it appears there is a possibilty there MAY be some jobs in the offing but the company has not committed to that as yet.  Pleased that Doyle Carter is able to get this addition to a business in his district.

Arts and crafts retailer Michaels Stores Inc. plans to expand its Westside distribution center by 200,000 square feet, City Council learned Tuesday night.

In speaking about a proposed bill regarding a road issue affecting access, a property representative at the podium mentioned the expansion.

That prompted district City Council member Doyle Carter to invite him into the Green Room, just off Council chambers, after his comments.

The speaker, lawyer Robert Telles, represents Mike Jacksonville FL LLC, the entity that owns the property. He said after the Green Room meeting that his group will work with the City on the access issue.

“They’re excited about the prospect of Michaels expanding,” said Telles with the Telles, Walker & Kochenderfer law firm in Walnut Creek, Calif., which handles corporate, mergers and acquisitions, finance, real estate, municipal bond, entertainment, arts and sports law.

Mark Howerton, a Michaels manager, said the existing 500,000-square-foot facility employs about 200 people. He could not comment about additional jobs and referred questions to the Michaels corporate offices.

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
