Johnson & Johnson is building a warehouse in Hendricks County that is expected to create 465 jobs when completed in mid-2011.
The distribution arm of the New Jersey-based manufacturer of health care and consumer products is building the facility in
the 70 West Commerce Park at Interstate 70 and State Road 39, said Cinda Kelley, executive director of the Hendricks County
Economic Development Partnership.
“We are nationally known and identified as a distribution hub,” Kelley said. “So this is just one more
additional project that we’ve been successful in landing.”
Hendricks County, and particularly Plainfield, are home to several large industrial parks. The 12 million-square-foot Airwest
Business Park and 4.7 million-square-foot AirTech Park are among the largest.
The $82 million, 1.1 million-square-foot Johnson & Johnson development will be the first in the new 1,000-acre industrial
park west of Plainfield.
The Hendricks County Council approved a 10-year property-tax abatement.
Also, the county received assistance from the state to help land the project. The Indiana Economic Development Corp. will
provide Hendricks County with $300,000 to help with infrastructure improvements, and the Indiana Department of Transportation
will kick in $400,000 for additional road improvements.
“This was a true collaborative effort between the state, INDOT and Hendricks County to get this project in Hendricks
County,” Kelley said.
She said the county beat out competing sites in several states to win the project.

Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.
I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.
The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.
I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
