Southern
Star Announces Plans for Headquarters Office Facility
August 8, 2003, Owensboro,
KY
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline today announced its plans
to construct a new headquarters facility in Owensboro.
The approximately 45,000 square foot office building, as planned,
will be located on Highway 56, just west of its intersection
with Highway 81. The facility will be designed by RBS
Design Group and will be built by Hartz Construction Corporation,
both of Owensboro.
Southern Star has taken an option from Bellevue Baptist Church
on approximately 7 acres of property at the Highway 56 site
and is completing a final sales agreement with Bellevue.

The "Bellevue" property
on Highway 56 in Owensboro, KY |
of Southern Star commented,
“Our building, as envisioned, will make tremendous use
of lighting, both natural and artificial, as well as glass,
and will provide views of the tranquil setting. Our facility,
when combined with the location, will be an outstanding place
that all our employees can be proud of, and though conservative,
will most definitely be a statement in the Owensboro and Daviess
County community." Plans are to begin construction immediately
upon the execution of a final agreement and all site testing
has been completed and permits acquired. Construction should
be completed and Southern Star’s 125 Owensboro employees
relocated to its new headquarters by October 1, 2004.
