Construction set with goal of luring business to area
Seymour Plan Commission approved a plan Thursday allowing developers to build a shell building on property in Seymour’s East Side Industrial Park.
TDAK Development Inc., owned by Andy Royalty of Seymour, will construct the 70,000 sq. ft. facility with the hope of luring business to fill the space in the near future. The property is in the 2000 block of Killion Avenue and is owned by Seymour Industrial Corp.
Jim Plump, executive director of Jackson County Industrial Development Corporation, spoke in support of the project.
“We believe this is an opportunity, since more than 50% of the inquiries that we get, companies are looking for existing buildings as opposed to land to expedite their process.” – Jim Plump, JCIDC Executive Director
It’s possible the building could be used by an existing business, too, Plump said.
Plump described the project as a “win-win” for the city and county because of its potential to add jobs and revenue for the city in the form of property and income taxes.
Dave Geis, president of Seymour Industrial Corp., said the joint venture between TDAK Development Inc. and Seymour Industrial Corp. to construct the spec building is a good one.
“We understand from advisers that it’s not enough to have shovel-ready sites these days,” Geis said. “You need to be competitive with actually having a shell up and ready to be finished out.”
JCIDC Executive Director Jim Plump visited with Aisin officials in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit on January 12th to hear Aisin Group President Yasumori Ihara discuss the company’s products and technologies that they are pursuing in its R&D efforts, on the themes of “Environment and Fuel Efficiency,” “Security and Safety,” and “Comfort and Convenience”. On display were a number of Aisin transmissions (some produced at ADI in Crothersville), plus the company showed video clips of a demonstration vehicle equipped with the group’s automatic driving and parking technology that links the intelligent parking assist system for rear parking and parallel parking, the driver monitor system, and the car navigation system.
“The Aisin Group has grown into a comprehensive auto parts manufacturer with many specialized companies under a management philosophy of autonomy and independence that
allows each company to manage business in its field of expertise on its own,” said Ihara during a press conference at the COBO Center. “Aisin Group designs, develops and produces one of the broadest product lineups in the industry, and is fortunate to count many global auto manufacturers among its customer base, including most of the OEMs you see here at the Detroit motor show. In 2012, Aisin AW developed the world’s first Front Wheel Drive 8-speed automatic transmission. Today, Aisin Group has grown into the world’s largest automatic transmission manufacturer. And, we are proud to exhibit our drivetrain products for the first time here at NAIAS.”
