In May it was announced that Paola officials were finalizing the paperwork on an agreement that will allow Distributors Processing, Inc. (DPI Global) to build a new 20,000-square-foot manufacturing, warehouse and office complex in the Paola Industrial Park.
The tract of land, which also was referred to as Lot 4, Block 1, currently is vacant but is used as makeshift soccer fields. It sits on the north side of Industrial Park Drive, across the street from the Paola Community Garden.
