While I can't specifically answer your question as to the cost per sq. foot, I might be able to help you in another way......
I was working for a company that was launching a green field facilityjust north of Columbus in the Hamilton, MS area next to the former Kerr-McGee Chemical plant, now known as Tronox......
We had the erecting steel and metal building completely purchased and the company decided to cancel the project.....
In Hamilton, there's15 acres of steel and metal just sitting there....I'm sure the company iswilling to let it go fairly cheap.....They've written off the loss by now anyway...Been there almost 3 years now just sitting there and they are paying monthly rent on the property and it's costing them a pretty penny......
If you think you might be interested, PM me and I'll give you more details and some contact info........
