The Seymour City Council approved a 10-year abatement for Kremers Urban for real property during a meeting Monday evening.
The abatement is for a new $6 million 116,000 square foot facility that will connect to the southeast corner of the existing building. Wilhelm Construction will construct the facility.
Jim Plump, executive director of Jackson County Industrial Development Corporation, said the area will serve as a logistics center for the pharmaceutical company.
“It’s critical for their continued growth,” he said. “It will free up space within their current facility for more manufacturing to allow them to use this as a logistics center.”
Rich Archer of Kremers Urban said the company will plan to add jobs in the near future.
“We’ve got some other projects coming shortly, and we’ll be back here with some job-creation numbers,” he said.
