Officials are actively seeking industries to fill the void of outgoing companies in the Plymouth area.
Marshall County and Plymouth City officials recently met with Indiana Economic Secretary of Commerce (IEDC) Jim Schellinger, two of his top Cabinet people and the Director of the IEDC Elaine Bedel to network and make the area a priority for economic development.
Plymouth City Attorney Sean Surrisi gave the city council members an update Monday night and said it was a very productive meeting.
“We met just to make them aware of the opportunity that we have with Bay Valley and Del Monte leaving,” said Surrisi. “We could be a prime location for another food processing facility due to the capacity we have with the wastewater plant and the ability to treat that type of wastewater. So as they go out and meet with business prospects around the state and around the country they know this opportunity is here.”
Surrisi said the Marshall County Economic Development Corporation is working hard to find industries to welcome to Plymouth and the Marshall County area.
