There will be a construction piece. At minimum there will be reconfiguration of rooms in production area, and very possibly reinforcement of floors and raising/breaking through the roof to accommodate equipment. That is without a warehouse or outside piece, which I think is very possible.
An on-site warehouse is one potential solution to an issue that needs to be resolved in the 1st path: how materials, finished product, and waste streams will move and be staged. We currently don't have this space onsite, or access to external warehouse space 24/7, which would be required. We also need a solution for HAZMAT waste, which probably requires a separate CER if not incorporated into this solution. This cannot wait to be addressed in 2027, when production levels have already doubled. This person would lead project work from where it has progressed to that point, which depends on when the person starts here.
