According to a press release, this facility will be used as an equipment rental facility, as well as, one of their installation centers for their tech company, Equipment Share Track. The Dewitt Tilton Group is the contractor for the project.

“This is a build-to-suit project for our client, and it will be the first location in Georgia for EquipmentShare, where the closest existing locations are Charleston and Jacksonville,” said Chris Tilton, one of the principals of the Savannah-based construction firm.
