Manufacturer Seeking Tax Breaks For Expansion

A door manufacturer in DeKalb County is planning to add more than 100 jobs. Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly reports Therma-Tru Corp. is seeking tax abatement from the city of Butler on a proposed $20 million expansion. Last week, the city's economic development commission recommended 10-year tax abatement for the Ohio-based company.

The full council is expected to take up the issue this evening.

Therma-Tru has manufacturing locations in Butler and outside the U.S. in Mexico.
