TouchPoint Medical, a subsidiary of Concordville, Pa.-based TouchPoint Inc. that makes equipment carts and mounts for high-tech medical devices, broke ground Feb. 6 on what will be a $30 million, 142,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in The Preserve, a BRS Industries LLC development located in Odessa, just west of State Road 589. When built out, the community will boast more than 1,000 homes, plus a Publix Greenwise grocery store and dermatology clinic. TouchPoint, which plans to hire 116 people, will be the sole industrial resident.
