Centurion, which manufactures firearms and related products, plans to double its current workforce of six over the next five years in Johnson County.
The company says it is seeking a tax abatement for their investment of $1.4 million in real estate and equipment.
“It’s great to see progress and new businesses wanting to locate here, especially a veteran-based business that hires disable veterans,” said James Rummell, Bargersville town council president. “This will be a welcome addition to our town.”
Centurion plans to start manufacturing many of the parts it now purchases as well as produce several new components and expand current offerings.
“With its centralized location, direct access to major roads, including the new I-69, and its large talent pool to hire from, Bargersville seemed like the perfect choice for our new, bigger shop,” said Monty LeClair, owner of Centurion Arms.
The tax abatement request received a unanimous favorable recommendation from the Bargersville Redevelopment Commission earlier this month. Final consideration is set for July 13.
