Photo by Mark Pummell/The Daily Standard

Work proceeds on the 200,000-square-foot expansion project at Ferguson Enterprises at the corner of Harris Road and state Route 29, east of Celina. The project is expected to be completed by March. Company officials have declined to reveal the cost of the project and said current associates at the site will be adequate to staff the expansion. However, the company isn't ruling out the possibility of hiring more employees, he said.
