Indianapolis ag company breaks ground on seed storage facility in Anderson
ANDERSON, Ind. (WISH) — An Indianapolis-headquartered agriculture company and an Indianapolis-based real estate developer broke ground Tuesday on a $30 million warehouse and seed distribution facility on the southwest side of Anderson.
The new Corteva Agriscience facility at 4210 W. 67th St. will be used for seed storage and distribution to customers in Indiana and southern Ohio. The building will have 300,000 square feet, and about a third of that will have controls from precise humidity and temperatures.
“This new business is expected to create more than 40 new jobs in the Anderson area and contribute to diversifying the local economy while producing a net of $4.3 million in new tax revenue over a 10-year period,” said a news release from the Anderson city government.
Indianapolis-headquartered Scannell Properties is developing the project.
