BRUNSWICK, Maine, June 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul is putting
its adaptive reuse practices to work in transforming the former
Arrow Hart electrical equipment plant into a full-service U-Haul
store for the do-it-yourself mover.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Arrow Hart at 1 Cressey Road will
today begin offering truck and trailer rentals and moving supplies.
U-Haul closed on the property May 13.
The 186,293-square-foot building also will house the U-Haul Company
of Maine marketing company
offices.
"This building sat empty for more than five years," U-Haul
Company of Maine president
Jon Hynes said. "The manufacturing
plant had been around for more than 35 years. It's the largest
building in the area, so it's important it doesn't become an
eyesore."
The acquisition of the Arrow Hart facility was driven
by U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives:
U-Haul supports infill development to help local communities lower
their carbon footprint. Our adaptive reuse of existing buildings
reduces the amount of energy and resources required for
new-construction materials and helps cities reduce
their unwanted inventory of unused buildings.
In addition to the fleet of equipment that is now available for
the summer moving season, the 18.17-acre location will soon offer
professional hitch installation, propane, U-Box portable moving and
self-storage containers, and much more. By late summer, 500 storage
units will be available for U-Haul customers.
"Brunswick is a really
close-knit community and we are excited to be here," Hynes said.
"The area is growing fast and our other U-Haul locations just
aren't big enough to keep up with customer demand. This is the
perfect opportunity to grow and serve this community well."
