Airgas, a distributor of industrial, medical and specialty gases, has filed permits to build a location in Spokane Valley.

The company filed plans to build a more than 9,700-square-foot building near the southwest corner of Fancher Road and Desmet Avenue.

The project contractor is Spokane-based Yost Gallagher. Spokane Valley-based Mercier Architecture is the project architect.

Airgas was founded in 1982 and acquired by Air Liquide in 2016. It has more than 1,400 locations nationwide, with a branch in Moses Lake and a dry-ice store near the Spokane Industrial Park.
