FRANKLIN, Ind. – 84 Lumber Company announced plans Wednesday to locate a manufacturing facility in Franklin, creating up to 100 new jobs by 2019.
The Pennsylvania-based company plans to invest $5 million to purchase and renovate the former Trussway facility at 1850 N. Graham Road.
Renovations on the vacant 84,000-square-foot facility will begin in January.
The company currently employs more than 4,600 associates nationwide and plans to begin hiring in February for plant management and production associate positions. Interested applicants may apply online at the 84 Lumber career page.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered 84 Lumber Company up to $450,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job-creation plans. The tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.
The city of Franklin will consider additional incentives at the request of the Johnson County Development Corporation.
