Project description: Peter Gordon and son Shane own and operate the expanding Gordon's Fabrications, an artificial tree and rock manufacturer. The company is relocating from its 6,000-square-foot facility at 1424 N. Hampton Ave. Shane Gordon said the doubled space will allow Gordon's Fabrications to expand a clientele that already includes Bass Pro Shops and several area architectural designers. They also create pieces for zoos and museums. "Pretty much if someone dreams it up, we can make it," Shane Gordon said. The father-son team started the business about nine years ago.
