Incentives Draw New Company to Lawrenceburg


From Eagle Country Online:

A new business will produce not just flour, but new jobs in Dearborn County.
 
Whitewater Mill, LLC is a joint venture between two of the oldest names in the flour milling industry: Siemer Milling Company of Teutopolis, Illinois and H. Nagel & Son Company of Cincinnati.
 
The website FoodBusinessNews.com reports that Whitewater Mill will build a new flour mill in West Harrison, believed to be in Dearborn County’s Tax Increment Finance district along Harrison-Brookville Road near Interstate 74 exit 169. County officials approved changes to the TIF district last week.
 
With a targeted opening date of spring 2015, Whitewater Milling is expected to have a workforce of 35 people once it is operational. The project is said to be a $44 million investment for the companies.
 
The online report said Whitewater Mill is getting support from Dearborn County, Lawrenceburg’s Regional Economic Development Grant program, and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. The City of Lawrenceburg has approved $1.4 million in grants for the new employer.
