Three companies will spend millions of dollars to improve their local operations.
Cummins Inc., Seymour Tubing and Rose Acre Farms received 10-year tax abatement from Seymour City Council on Monday for projects totaling $11.13 million.
Rose Acre Farms will build a new corporate headquarters in Seymour to move its office from the Cortland area in Hamilton Township to Seymour. The egg producer will spend $5 million to construct a 27,000 square foot office building on the west side of Seymour. Construction is expected to begin in May and be completed by the end of the year.
Cummins Inc.’s $5.46 million investment for 2016 includes real property improvements and manufacturing equipment and is part of the engine maker’s ongoing $250 million expansion of the Seymour Engine Plant and Seymour Technical Center that began in 2010. That work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Seymour Tubing will spend $665,000 to purchase new manufacturing equipment for its plant in the East Side Industrial Park. The equipment will allow for increased capacity for existing customers and new business. Installation of the new equipment is expected to begin this summer and be completed by year end.
