April
28 -- Brinly-Hardy Co. has plans to expand its Southern Indiana operations,
pending the approval of tax incentives by the city of Jeffersonville.
According
to a news release from One Southern Indiana, Brinly-Hardy, which designs,
builds and distributes lawn and garden equipment, could add as many as 44
employees and invest more than $5 million at its Southern Indiana operations.
The
plan calls for Brinly-Hardy to invest $1.5 million to improve its existing
240,000 square-foot facility and $3.53 for equipment at that facility, 3230
Industrial Parkway.
The
Jeffersonville Redevelopment Commission today voted that the project would be
eligible for tax abatements from the city, and Brinly-Hardy is expected to
request those incentives at a Jeffersonville City Council meeting on May 5.
“We’ve
been so happy with our site here in Southern Indiana,” Brinly-Hardy CEO Jane
Hardy said in the release. “We purchased the land and building in 2000 with plans
to expand. Now is the time for us to do that. We are thrilled our growth
demands it, especially in our 175th year of business.”
