Emerson, Georgia, is about to experience a major surge in job opportunities for dump truck operators and other heavy equipment professionals with the development of the Lakepoint Commerce Center – Building 100 & 300. This massive $60,000,000 project involves extensive site work, paving, and the new construction of two large warehouse and distribution facilities. For local dump truck operators, this directly translates into a substantial amount of work hauling materials, moving earth, and preparing the ground for what will be a vital new industrial hub in Bartow County.
The project, which kicked off on June 1, 2025, is slated for completion by March 9, 2026. It includes the construction of a 376,245-square-foot facility (Building 100) and an additional 174,760-square-foot facility (Building 300). The sheer scale of these buildings and the necessary infrastructure means a consistent demand for dump truck services throughout the construction phases. Core5 Industrial Partners LLC is spearheading this development as the project’s developer. Overseeing the crucial civil engineering aspects is Kimley-Horn – Alpharetta, with Bobby Szoch serving as the Civil Engineer.
Emerson, Georgia, located in Bartow County, has been a growing area for industrial and commercial development due to its strategic location and access to major transportation routes. This growth has consistently created demand for various support services, including those provided by skilled heavy equipment operators. The Lakepoint Commerce Center project is a prime example of this ongoing development, promising a sustained need for transportation and earthmoving services. The area’s appeal for large-scale logistics operations is boosted by its connectivity, making it an attractive spot for new distribution centers.
Specifically, the “site work” and “paving” components of this project are where dump truck operators will find significant engagement. Site work, a critical first step, involves preparing the land for construction, which means a lot of earth needs to be moved. Dump trucks will be essential for hauling away excavated soil, bringing in necessary fill materials, and transporting aggregates like gravel and sand. The paving work, crucial for access roads and parking areas within the commerce center, will also require dump trucks to deliver asphalt and other road-building materials.
The project’s scope clearly indicates a high demand for reliable dump truck services from start to finish. This new development at the Lakepoint Commerce Center is not just another construction project; it’s a strong signal of immediate and future work for dump truck operators, bolstering the local economy and supporting the region’s expanding logistics capabilities. Interested subcontractors and suppliers, especially those focused on earthwork, should direct their inquiries to the general contractor bidder to explore opportunities. Sources
