MERRITT, B.C. — In April of 2020, Merritt City Council approved a trio of development variances for Barkman Concrete.
The variances were for increasing the maximum height to 21.5 metres, reducing the off-street parking spaces, and removing the requirement to have a paved lot.
The approval of the variances paved the way for Barkman Concrete to build a fourth production plant in Merritt. Barkman Concrete was founded in Steinbach, Manitoba, in 1948.
“As a Canadian family-owned company, Barkman is proud and excited to announce the next major milestone in the company’s history. This year, Barkman has begun the construction of a 40,000 square foot hardscapes production facility in Merritt, British Columbia. This 25-million-dollar investment in Barkman’s Western Canadian market represents its long-term commitment to its customers in the form of expanded capacity, high-quality products, and broadened distribution,” reads the release.
