佛罗里达州赛百灵(2月. 11, 2021) – Bernie Little Distributors hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday to commemorate the start of a major expansion project in Sebring, following the acquisition of approximately 40 acres along the Sebring Parkway last year.

“6686体育集团官网致力于智能, strategic economic growth and this retention and expansion project is a great example of our efforts to foster an environment where our existing businesses can continue to grow and succeed” said County Commissioner Chairman, 斯科特Kirouac.
