“I’ve been talking to them about some tax abatements and different things that we can do with the town of Bremen,” said Weldy. “One of the major expansion projects is Southwire. They purchased a 30 acre parcel just north of the Town of Bremen that’s going to connect to their existing building they have out there. We’ll have to annex that into the city. We’ll have to get it rezoned. They want to start breaking ground early this summer. Bremtown Kitchens also wants to expand and Omega Wire plans to expand this year in the town of Bremen.
