Nanshan America: what a happy story for Greater Lafayette

It certainly isn't fresh news, but what great story behind our community's ability to court Nanshan America's Advanced Aluminum Technologies to Park 350.  The China based multi-industry conglomerate will expand its soft aluminum extrusion enterprise into America with a $100 million, 435,000 square foot facility on 50 acres in Park 350.  The enterprise is expected to open in 2012 and will employ 150 Hoosiers within two years.

We should tip our cap to the local leaders in both the public and  private sectors ability to work together in harmony and with efficiency to make the deal happen.  The State of Indiana, Purdue, Ivy Tech, Oscar Winski Company, Lafayette Urban Railway (the property owner), Greater Lafayette Commerce, the two Mayors and the three County Commissioners all deserve credit for making this happen.

Our company was honored to be a particpant in the real estate transaction.
