Our partners at the Herald-Bulletin report the water and sewer project will link up with the NTN Driveshaft facility, which has been under construction since the end of last year.

The company, which has more than 1,500 workers at it U.S. flagship facilities in Bartholomew County, is planning to pump more than $140 million into the project that is expected to create more than 400 jobs.
