Upcoming decisionsOn Tuesday, the regional board is expected to make a decision to assign the regional director a plan for how to build a contingency warehouse.
Exactly what it will look like remains to be seen. But Monica Johansson hopes that she will be able to build a warehouse that will last longer than two weeks.
