Officials cut the ribbon on INDOT’s new Plymouth Sub District facility at 2845 Jack Greenlee Drive located north of U.S. 30 off of Pioneer Drive.
INDOT Commissioner Joe McGuiness from Indianapolis said the former facility off of old U.S. 31 served this part of the district for a number of years.
“Our original facility in Plymouth here served us well for almost 40 years, but it certainly doesn’t have the modern features and amenities that we all desire in today’s workplace,” said Commissioner McGuiness. “This facility is truly state of the art. It has a new main building, the salt building, a full-service garage and eight maintenance bays. It’s 40,000 square feet. The salt building holds about 7,300 tons of salt and about 10,000 gallons of brine.”
He noted that the new facility allows the loading of salt and brine trucks under a roof and not out in the elements.
INDOT Commissioner McGuiness stated that INDOT not only made an investment in the construction of the new facility, there was a community investment made as well.
“We’ve invested $7 million to build a new facility for our team in the Northwest La Porte District. We also invested money to the community. By virtue of the work that we do, we touch all 92 counties but many of the men and women that are standing behind me also live, play and 
their children go to school here in the community. I think that’s an important piece of what we do around the state of Indiana.”
INDOT crews are ready to fight the winter weather as they gear up during this Winter Weather Awareness Week. INDOT officials ask that you watch for the yellow snow plow trucks as they tackle snow and ice on the roads.
Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, Plymouth Mayor Mark Senter joined the Jack Greenlee family in dedicating Jack Greenlee Drive to the city.
