Winegard Company: Burlington

Winegard Company purchased, renovated and rehabilitated a mostly vacant blighted strip mall in Burlington. The renovation and new construction resulted in a 185,000 sq. ft. facility to accommodate new equipment, and add manufacturing capacity and efficiencies for this 55 year old locally owned TV reception product manufacturer. An additional benefit from this project is the creation of over 100 new jobs in the Burlington area.
