Comment on Advantage Moving and Storage to build new warehouse space

Advantage Moving and Storage in Algonquin’s Corporate Campus plans to build a new warehouse space on property they recently bought adjacent to their current offices. The village said the new facility will create 15 new jobs with salaries above $60,000, and exceed $3 million in capital investment. The new warehouse space would be on 2621 Corporate Parkway, directly east of the petitioner’s existing Advantage Moving and Storage facility. Mike Ritter, president of Advantage Moving and Storage, said these jobs include forklift operators, warehouse managers, material handlers and some administrative positions. According to a news release, Advantage has been in the Chicago area for 35 years, offering residential and commercial moving services, as well as installation and storage solutions. Algonquin approved a development agreement for Advantage as part of the expansion, which includes waiving development fees.
