Construction of an auto salvage yard is expected to begin soon following a $7.8 million purchase of land needed for the project.

LKQ Corporation, an auto salvage company, plans to build a 107,000-square-foot warehouse on 120 acres on the northwest corner of Thornton and Peters roads. The building will occupy only a portion of the lot, which will be completely fenced in, and will also contain the offices for the company.
