The company, which offers transportation management, warehousing and distribution services, will invest $10.8 million to lease and equip a 200,000-square-foot distribution center and office building near the Indianapolis International Airport. s2f, a minority business enterprise, will serve customers in the automotive, life sciences, telecommunications and retail markets, among others.
s2f plans to begin hiring supervisory and warehouse associates in April, in preparation for operations starting up in the second quarter of 2010.
Plainfields infrastructure makes it an ideal location for s2f, said Randall Lewis, president of s2f worldwide. We look forward to bringing jobs to our state and becoming an engaged community partner.
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered s2f worldwide up to $2 million in performance-based tax credits and up to $45,000 in training grants based on the companys job-creation plans. The town of Plainfield will consider additional property tax abatement at the request of the Hendricks County Economic Development Partnership.
In a press release, the Indiana Economic Development Corp. described Indiana as one of the nations top transportation hubs. The agency noted that Indiana has more than 11,000 miles of highway, 4,700 miles of mainline rail track and the only fully funded, 10-year road improvement program in the country.
