For more than 70 years, Florida has been the destination for the Atlanta Braves Spring Training. The new North Port location in Sarasota County gives the team a 30-year lease on a purpose-built facility that mimics its home at Georgia's SunTrust Park. Built on 80 acres of previously vacant land, the new complex was designed by Fawley Bryant Architects (FBA) to create a state-of-the-art, comfortable and fun environment for players, fans and year-round events.
Swanson Group Manufacturing LLC, a Pacific Northwest forest products company, announced that it has acquired the assets of Olympic Panel Products LLC. Located in Shelton, Wash., Olympic Panel is the largest overlay plywood manufacturer in North America. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
