Computer rendering of the new public refrigerated warehouse in Texas.

United States Cold Storage ("USCS") has purchased approximately 30 acres of land in Laredo, Texas, and plans to build a new public refrigerated warehouse – its third in this market – to serve imports and exports crossing the United States/Mexican border. The site is strategically located between Laredo's two busiest bridge crossings with Mexico: the World Trade Bridge and the Columbia Bridge. USCS plans an initial Phase One building of six to eight million cubic feet of space, with refrigerated and frozen storage and handling capabilities, scheduled to come on stream by early 2019. This new facility will feature special cross-dock shipping and receiving areas, a large yard for drop-trailers, and state-of-the-art refrigeration and materials handling systems.
