Last year, Darigold was talking with a cold storage company about co-locating with their facility at the Reimann Center. According to the Tri-Cities Area Journal of Business, Cold Storage has six facilities across the country. They lease space at a facility in Dallas and Arizona to Lineage Logistics. That's the company whose warehouse burned down in Finley last year.
