C & S Glass to build new facility
C & S Glass Co. of Post Falls is having a new and larger facility built for its warehouse, manufacturing and retail operations.
The new 8,500-square-foot building will cost about $350,000 and will be at 966 N. Boulder Court in Post Falls, said Mike Goularte, owner of Precision Bilt, of Coeur d'Alene.
Precision Bilt is the general contractor on the project, which will begin next week. C & S Glass owner Mike Hlebichuk will own the new building.
Goularte said the building will give C & S Glass more space than it currently occupies at 808 W. Mullan Ave., in Post Falls.
"It allows them to get everything inside," he said.
C & S Glass has been leasing space at its current location.
The Boulder Court location is vacant land now, he said. The building will occupy about one-third of an acre of property, owned by Hlebichuk. He acquired the property earlier this year.
Momentum Architecture Inc. of Coeur d'Alene designed it.
Goularte said C & S Glass sells to general contractors for commercial and office building projects. He said C & S Glass has only one location.
Hlebichuk couldn't be immediately reached for comment about the project.
