(Westville, IN) - The reopening of a food warehouse in Westville is producing more jobs than originally predicted.  More than 20 million dollars was invested in the once vacant facility on U.S 421.

Dollar General using it to store and move product is the main tenant of the spacious structure formerly occupied by major food handlers like Spartan Nash and Eagle.  La Porte County Commission president Sheila Matias said 80 jobs were originally projected but more than 190 people are employed there right now.

Dollar General first occupied the structure over a year ago.
