73 new jobs coming to Rushville

Resolution 2009-14, passed unanimously by the Rushville Common Council Tuesday evening, paves the way for Jordan Manufacturing of Monticello to open a manufacturing operation in Rushville with the help of a state grant.

The manufacturing plant will open in the former Schnadig building on 11th Street. The plant will produce a component currently being manufactured in China.

Concerns over product quality led Jordan Manufacturing to seek state assistance in bringing this manufacturing operation - and ultimately 73 jobs - back to Indiana.

"They are real down-to-earth and went out of their way to give us a tour," Mayor Mervyn Bostic said regarding a recent trip to Jordan's Monticello plant.

Councilman Mike Buckley made the motion to approve the resolution with a second from Al Shelton.
