Worcester-based Curtis Industries has signed a 163,000 square-foot lease that will serve as the jumping-off point for an $8 million expansion for the manufacturer.
The company specializing in enclosures for small recreational and work vehicles signed a lease at 70 Hartwell St. in West Boylston recently. The company will occupy an existing 53,000 square-foot building as well as a built-to-suit 110,000 square-foot addition, according to The Stubblebine Company/CORFAC International that represented the landlord D & S Realty LLP.
The addition will be completed by July of next year. The company is investing $8 million in its expansion project, according to a release from the Baker administration highlighting a 13-year TIF valued at $803,000 from West Boylston that helped to secure the project.
Curtis Industries’ products include a growing list of tractors, mowers, recreation and work vehicles worldwide, including a recent focus on Canada. Working with dealers and major vehicle manufactures, Curtis now serves multiple end markets including the government, golf, home owner, agriculture and commercial.
