Brews on Washington has opened on Washington Ave in downtown Spokane.
Although it was announced back in late june it is worth noting that Caterpillar is building a 585,000 square foot building on the West Plains off of Geiger Blvd. and near the Spokane International Airport.The project is huge for Spokane because it means between 100 and 150 new jobs and hopefully shows that Spokane County is business friendly.The construction will start in late summer.
Coldwater Creek,the Sandpoint based women's clothing retailer has closed it call center in Parkerburg,Wv. and moved the employees into it's distribution center located on site,The call center on Hanley Ave. in Coeur d Alene will be the only call center and despite the closure Coldwater Creek will not hire on more people to make up for the missing employees however will increase hours for the CdA employees.
On the same note I have noticed construction work has started back up on the Coldwater Creek's IT building also off of Hanley in CdA.The building had been for lease from NAI Black and I know there was a sale pending according to the website last time I checked,if anyone knows about this fell free to e-mail me at mjbehri@gmail.com
