ICI Logistics will build a $50 million warehouse and distribution center in La Porte County
In September, the La Porte County Council pledged up to $6 million in improvements for the warehouse, which will be able to store perishable foods and dry goods at various temperatures from hot to freezing. That money will be combined with $3 million from the state, county Economic Development Coordinator Matt Reardon said in September.
Officials previously said the new facility would create an expected 135 new full-time positions at Kingsbury, as well as nearly 500 transportation-related jobs. Construction would require about another 500 jobs.
Reardon said the 135 new full-time positions would be paid between $35,000 and $43,000 annually.
