(La Porte, IN) - Another project is in the works to attact new jobs locally.  The beneficiary this time is the City of La Porte.

 

A ground breaking is scheduled next week at the Thomas Rose Industrial Park.  Right now, not too many details are being shared.

 

Bert Cook, Executive Director of the La Porte Economic Advancement Partnership, did reveal a large facility is being constructed for companies to later occupy the space.  “We expect the new facility will house companies that will employ a large number of people in our community,” he said.

 

The groundbreaking is scheduled Monday at 12 p.m.

 

Among the new companies attracted to the area recently are Corsicana Mattress Company, planning to operate at Pinola, and Lippert Components, whom is expanding at the old Spartan Nash food warehouse at Westville.  And, Dollar General has been operating a food warehouse from the newly refurbished 650,000 square foot building along U.S 421 for about a year.
