Courier Corp Seeks Abatement for Equipment Investment in Kendallville

From the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette:


Courier Corp. is investing $13 million in a four-color inkjet web press for its Kendallville plant.

No new jobs are in the company’s short-term plan.
...

The company applied for a 10-year abatement on taxes that will be assessed on the new machinery. Kendallville Mayor Suzanne Handshoe supports the request, which is set to be voted on next week at a City Council meeting.

That support, Folger said, “was instrumental in our making the decision to put the equipment in Kendallville.” Pennsylvania was also competing for the investment.
