ANDERSON, Ind. (WISH) - Myers and Ford Autoworld said it would move and donate its current facilities on Broadway in Anderson to Ivy Tech for automotive training.
The companies announced Friday the new dealerships will be on the former General Motors Plant 11 site located just north of 38th Street on Scatterfield Road.
Autoworld expects to invest $7.5 million and eventually create up to 30 new jobs, making this the city's 10th jobs announcement of the year.
Autoworld's current 27,000-square-foot facility, located on about 5 acres on North Broadway, will be donated to Anderson's branch of Ivy Tech Community College.
Mayor Kevin Smith said the announcement was a "significant milestone, because it's using a former brownfield" industrial or commercial site left vacant by GM.
Our partners at the Herald Bulletin Report the new location is the state's last-granted CREED, or Community Revitalization Enhancement District - zone, which has gone unused for nearly 8 years.
