EMAMI
Continued from Front
foundations in modules,
said Emami. The standards
of construction are much
more stringent than mobile
homes under this program
as we have to follow the
same international code as
site-built homes. Emami
said his facility will initially
be 15,000 square feet with
25-foot ceilings.
“We are building it with
the ability to easily expand
it to increase capacity” said
Emami.
Emami said they’ll likely
start about 6-8 homes
initially, but will have the
capacity to build 12 at a
time. Emami said they
expect to have a place to
showcase a few of their
finished homes and allow
for walkthroughs and plant
visits and tours in the park.
He said they will start out
hiring about 5-8 people and
sub contract a lot until they
reach an expected 20-25
full time employee goal. He
said he expects the com
pany will generate more
than $500,000 in sales tax
revenue in the first year and
more than $1 million after
year 2, much of which will
go to the county.
The Indian Springs In
dustrial Park was originally
developed as a subdivision.
Then came the 2008 real
estate crash and so the
development authority
bought it for businesses. The
authority is also in negoti
ations to sell another tract

The District 2 county
commissioner, Emami
recently resigned his seat on
the development authority
saying he wanted to avoid
the appearance of conflicts
of interest related to his
many projects. However
he said that was before he
decided to buy land in the

Emami had finally won city
approval for a similar facility
