From the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette:
Lord’s Seed LLC, an agricultural production company, will invest $13 million to expand operations in Orland, creating up to 16 new jobs by 2016.
The company, headquartered in Howe, plans to construct and equip an 18,000-square-foot seed-drying facility on its 10-acre campus at 9900 W. Maple St. in Orland, according to a written statement Monday night from the Indiana Economic Development Corp.
The expansion will increase the company’s square footage in Orland to 45,000 square feet.
...
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered Lord’s Seed LLC up to $100,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $50,000 in training grants, based on the company’s job creation plans.
The tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.
The town of Orland approved an additional tax abatement at the request of the Steuben County Economic Development Corp.
