FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla.,
July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul
is putting its sustainability initiatives to use by renovating and
repurposing a once-vacant Staples® location to provide Amelia
Island residents with more moving and storage options.
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Amelia Island at 1830 S. 8th St.
will soon add 43 covered spaces where customers can safely store
their motorhomes, boats and other vehicles. The spaces will include
individual electrical hookup as well as an on-site dump
station.
"The covered parking will be a nice addition to this
neighborhood," U-Haul Company of Jacksonville president Shalon Lillard said. "Having a secure storage
space for RVs and boats is very important to the locals here."
The S. 8th Street location, which was acquired in 2014,
currently offers truck and trailer rentals, self-storage, towing
equipment and professional hitch installation, U-Box portable
moving and self-storage containers, moving supplies, propane and
more.
The acquisition of the Fernandina
Beach 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.
"The Yulee and Fernandina Beach areas are growing, and we
want to be able to offer U-Haul products and services to meet the
demand of a great community," Lillard said. "U-Haul will be able to
provide great convenience to the Amelia Island suburbs and
businesses with the addition of this 6.88-acre property."
