Hachette Book Group received local approval to expand their warehouse in Lebanon, IN. The company will invest almost $21 million in a 164,000-square-foot expansion that will also include ancillary office space. Construction is due to begin later this year, and the company tells PL the expected completion date for the construction is April 2023. When HBG announced their deal to acquire Workman Publishing last August, ceo Michael Pietsch had indicated to us, “It will take us at least a year or two to expand our warehouse to accommodate” the Workman distribution.
