Project description: Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Bottling Co. finished its 67,750-square-foot manufacturing facility in May, and a call to the company revealed it is soon to wrap up the second part of the two-phase project, a 47,625-square-foot building devoted to meeting and office space. The mostly finished exterior belies the fact that much infill work continues with the goal of completion before the end of January 2025. It wasn’t too long ago, in early 2021, that the company completed a warehouse expansion, comprising 432,000 square feet and connected to the manufacturing facility by a conveyor, according to past Springfield Business Journal reporting. The company’s products are distributed to four states, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, according to its website
