COLUMBUS, Ind. – Cummins Inc. announced Monday a $580 million project to drive economic and job growth in the Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and Nash County communities.
The Columbus Indiana power technology leader has received approval for tax incentives to help move the project forward and the incentives received from the Nash County Commissioner’s office will support the continued investment within the area.
This strategic investment is set to generate approximately 80 additional new jobs, fostering both short-term employment opportunities and long-term job stability. As Cummins continues towards its Destination Zero Strategy and its plan to achieve zero emissions across its products, the investment will involve installing new equipment for the future of manufacturing and upgrading the assembly line for next-generation products.
The financing is part of Cummins’s recent investment of more than $1 billion across its U.S. manufacturing network.
“We are excited to be driving continued growth within Nash County and creating jobs that rely on high-caliber technology for the future,” said Steve Pinkston, Cummins Rocky Mount Engine Plant Manager. “When we receive engagement from local partners like this, it helps us move faster toward a more sustainable future.”
