—Lowe’s Companies, Inc. is expected to open in July 2021 a 1.5 million sq. ft. regional distribution center in the East Montgomery County Improvement District’s industrial park in New Caney. The facility will be the largest industrial building in all of Montgomery County. EMCID began working with real estate developer CRG more than a year ago to bring the home improvement company’s project to East Montgomery County. Over the course of several months this year, EMCID purchased approximately 350 adjacent acres north of the EMC Industrial Park to aid in negotiations. CRG recently purchased about 120 acres of that property and began clearing immediately. About 200 employees are expected to be hired upon the opening of the facility on East Industrial Parkway next year. “This is a more than $65 million dollar investment in East Montgomery County,” said Frank McCrady, EMCID President, and CEO. “That investment provides jobs for our residents and value to our county, which helps fund schools and emergency services in our area,” McCrady says Montgomery County Commissioner James Metts and others in the county.
