That facility, to be constructed by the Tellepsen Company, is under a contract not to exceed $28.2 million in cost.
Focusing on more facts about the project:
The Magnolia Center will encompass 51,500 square feet.
Will be in a substantial completion stage by the summer of 2025.
Will be constructed near the intersection of FM 1486 and FM 1774 in Magnolia.
