Cass County officials on Friday approved a 10-year tax abatement paving the way for a massive expansion at a niche safety products maker on the Cass-Miami county line.
Orion Safety Products is preparing to build a new 57,000-square-foot warehouse to replace its existing 9,000-square-foot building on its property at 3157 N. 500 West, Peru.
