The city council granted the company $500,000 toward developing the site on Aug. 13, 2025, and the groundbreaking was held a few days later.Prompted by a reader’s question about the lack of construction activity, I stopped by Tuesday and found both gates of the site locked. An employee at a nearby business said he hadn’t seen any construction there for close to six months.The simple explanation, I found out at City Hall, is that while the company filed for a building permit on March 31, the permit had not been issued. City Building Official Joel Heenan told me it had been undergoing plan review.The company website says “Valliscor specializes in the commercial manufacture of high-value compounds containing the element fluorine – particularly materials that require production under specific requirements due to their regulated properties.”You can bet that this is a fairly complicated plant, so reviewing the plans would take some time.Some partial or preliminary permits for the site development have been issued since last year, but the permit for the main plant — “New production facility with single-story manufacturing space and two-story office space” — was listed on the city’s website with the notation “pay fees due.”That means it will be issued as soon as the fees are paid. The permit form available online lists fees totaling more than $240,000.If and when I see construction start in earnest, I’ll report it here. (hh)</div></body>
