Uniontown Co-op adds building

A new building is taking shape at the Uniontown Co-op to serve two purposes. The 120x36 building will serve as a grain sampling station and office.

Mangum Construction of Clarkston broke ground in May for the building expected to be complete by the first week of July. It will be used solely as a sampling station at first, then after harvest in July and August, the Co-op will move its office into the south part of the new building. The back will hold samples and be used for storage.

The current office is one of the original buildings of the 101-year-old co-op at the north edge of Uniontown.

Once the offices are moved into the new structure, the original building will be listed for sale – to potentially be hauled off by a buyer.
