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.

These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.
The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)
As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.
The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.
I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
