A Lawrenceville food distributor is a step closer to expanding after a vote today today by the Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority board.
Board members voted unanimously to sell nearly 13 acres of land at the 62nd Street Industrial Park, the former Tippins International site, to Paragon Food Service for $70,000 an acre, or nearly $910,000.
Paragon plans to build a new fresh-produce distribution and processing plant at the site, perhaps in concert with greenhouses that would enable the company to grow fruits and vegetables.
