Medical-products distributor Sarnova is disclosing which of its companies will open in Jacksonville.
The city is reviewing two permit applications for Sarnova to install conveyors and high-pile racking systems at Park 295 Industrial Park for two companies: Bound Tree Medical and Tri-anim Health Services.
Bound Tree distributes prehospital emergency medical supplies, equipment and pharmaceuticals for EMS providers.
A permit shows a $182,000 project to install equipment in 72,600 square feet.
Tri-anim provides respiratory, anesthesia and critical care products and therapies to hospitals, health systems and other patient care facilities nationwide.
A permit shows a $74,000 project to install equipment in 58,200 square feet of space.
The racking systems are for palletized goods. The projects total $256,000.
Sarnova, based in Dublin, Ohio, will lease the space, totaling almost 131,000 square feet of distribution facilities, at 2619 Ignition Drive in Building B.
Stratum Corp. of Jacksonville Beach is the contractor for the conveyor and racking system.
On May 4, the city issued a permit for Dav-Lin Interior Contractors Inc. to build-out the space for Sarnova in Unit 2 at a cost of $2.45 million.
Jacksonville City Council approved a $260,000 grant Feb. 9 for Sarnova, code-named as Project Robalo, to lease space in Northwest Jacksonville for its Southeastern U.S. distribution center.
Sarnova matches the description of Robalo as a national pharmaceutical and medical device distributor.
As Project Robalo, the company told city Office of Economic Development officials that it will invest $6.72 million and create 25 full-time jobs by year-end 2023 under the economic development agreement tied to the bill.
The city requires the company to make a minimum $3 million capital investment in the project site by Dec. 31, 2023, to receive the Recapture Enhanced Value Grant.
The distributor will need to complete $2.4 million in leaseholder improvements to the warehouse by Dec. 31, 2022.
