The land is currently being used in an agricultural capacity. SGB Development Corp. plans to convert the land to additional factory space to meet growing demand, as well as develop the majority for approximately 300 residential units.

The land sits minutes away from the Choctaw Nation Casino and Headquarters, as well as minutes away from the Interstate Highway system which runs to Dallas and Oklahoma City.

“We feel honored that SG Blocks, Inc. selected the McLean property in Durant, Oklahoma as the location for their additional manufacturing operations,” Lisa Taylor, Executive Director of the Durant Industrial Authority explained. “Upon completion, we expect the SG Project will be a win for the Durant community by building much needed housing and creating additional quality jobs.”

“The McLean property was a very easy choice for us. We are continuing to invest into the Durant community as we have had great experiences with the workforce and see value in furthering local roots,” Paul Galvin, Chairman and CEO explained. “We’re thrilled to be adding to our manufacturing capacity. Its location and proximity to Dallas and Oklahoma City should render it valuable as a distribution and manufacturing facility. ”

“Our assessment is that this site lends itself quite well to workforce housing which is in strong demand from the casino and local industry. We believe it is ideal to have a factory adjacent to the development site,” said Galvin.

The Company plans to provide further updates on the closing of the contract as well as plans to break ground.
