A California-based trucking company may be targeting an expansion in Northwest Arkansas.
An affiliate of KAL Freight Inc. recently paid $3.8 million for six lots totaling 15.27 acres in Springdale along northbound Interstate 49, south of Wagon Wheel Road. The property is on Conestoga Street near Rexel, an electrical supply store, and Welsco, an industrial gas and welding supply distributor. The purchase price equals $5.71 per square foot.
The land could be the site of a new facility. KAL Freight officials did not answer a request for comment.
