BARTHOLOMEW County?s economic outlook received additional good news last week when Cummins Inc. announced multimillion dollar investment plans that would result in more employees in the county.
The diesel engine maker said at the July 2 Columbus City Council meeting that it would build a $15 million, 428,000-square-foot warehouse on County Road 450S near Walesboro that would serve as a parts distribution center. The project will consolidate 80 employees from Cummins operations in Bartholomew, Jackson and Johnson counties and create 25 new jobs.
Also at the meeting, the company said it would begin a $5.2 million renovation of the former Irwin Union building at 525 Jackson St. After remodeling the 1973, four-story addition, Cummins plans to move 149 employees to the downtown building from other Cummins facilities around Bartholomew County.
