Site development companies and an engineering company will assess the sites and make recommendations. Properties typically chosen for the program are at least 40 acres, served by the utility, or a vacant industrial building with at least 20,000 square feet. Duke will present findings to local economic development agencies later in the year.
The locations include:
- The Kokomo Industrial Park, located at the intersection of County 50 East and County Road 300 North
- A 186-acre parcel in the north portion of the South Madison tax-increment financing district in Fortville
- A 100-plus acre parcel located at 29579 State Road 1 in West Harrison
- The Northpoint Business Park, which is bordered by East 196th Street to the south, Grassy Branch Road to the east, 202nd/203rd Street to the north and U.S. Hwy. 31 to the west
- The North Manchester Industrial Complex (Wabash County) at County Road 1100 North and Taylor Drive in North Manchester
- The North Warrick Industrial Park at 9988 North State Road 57 in Elberfeld
Economic development organizations in Hancock, Hamilton, Dearborn and Wabash counties will also receive $10,000 checks from Duke Energy to help implement any recommended changes. More information can be found here.
