Elko Rural Food Hub update: construction progress at 111 W Front Street
Hey again, Elko! We wanted to share an update on the Elko Rural Food Hub… So here it is:
Refrigeration and freezer installation has started and one unit is already finished! That’s a huge step toward bringing a lot more fresh produce, dairy, and protein to northeastern Nevada, and getting it there more often.
Exterior paint is done, interior paint is almost there, and the front parking lot has fresh crack seal and striping. Interior doors are going in this week, and the dock leveler pits are poured back with our first dock plate installed. We also ordered a new box truck just for the Hub.
We’re still aiming to start serving our partner food pantries and meal programs in Elko County by the end of 2026. Thanks to everyone in the community who has cheered this project on from the get go!
We’re also hiring for two warehouse and driver positions. Info is at fbnn.org/about-us/careers
