Tarboro shell building starts to take shape

While rain continues to slow progress of the 65,000-square-foot spec building under construction at the Tarboro Commerce Center, work is progressing as the superstructure is now up and workers preparing to erect the siding and roof.

“There has been a tremendous amount of interest,” said Oppie Jordan, Carolinas Gateway Partnership vice president. “Once things are back to normal (from COVID-19), I think we will either sell or lease it quickly, and we’re looking to do additional shells after that.”
