Fremont Plastics Requests Abatement for Expansion in Fort Wayne

From the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette:


Fremont Plastics Inc. plans to invest $1.37 million to expand its factory and add new equipment as it creates four new jobs.

The Fremont Redevelopment Commission today approved the project, which includes a 10,000-square-foot addition to the company’s existing operation at 500 W. Water St. The addition is expected to cost $700,000.

The company, which employs 26, also plans to spend $668,000 on new equipment. Fremont Plastics’ website is under construction, but it lists sterile and non-sterile medical trays as a category. Company and town officials couldn’t be reached late today.

The manufacturer’s request for a tax abatement is scheduled to be considered by the Fremont Town Council on Oct. 16, said Jessica Christen, who works for the Steuben County Economic Development Corp.
