Project description: This is the new location for Cabinets by RKC, which was previously located in Partnership Industrial Center West. The majority of the building, 27,000 square feet, will house state-of-the-art equipment for the production of custom commercial grade cabinetry, and the remaining 3,800 square feet will be used for office space. "For us, this location puts the cabinet shop right by the Rich Kramer Construction offices," said Lowell Thomas, senior project manager. "It's also good because we do quite a bit of work out of town and will have easy access onto I-44. It's also in the developing industrial area in the northwest corner of Springfield."
