FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WISH) - General Mills announced plans Tuesday to build a new distribution center in northern Indiana, bringing jobs by the end of 2012.
Indiana Secretary of Commerce Mitch Roob teamed up with General Mills and representatives of Allen County to publicize the plan. General Mills has leased distribution space in Fort Wayne since 2001. The company will invest more than $36 million in the project on the south side of Fort Wayne, set to begin in July.
"General Mills is the latest company to recognize the benefits of conducting business in Allen County," said Allen County Commissioner Nelson Peters. "Such a major construction project will provide hundreds of jobs for local contractors and boost our economic base. We are encouraged to see a Fortune 500 company grow here."
