A pair of companies based in Louisville, Kentucky is planning to develop two industrial buildings at River Ridge Commerce Center in Jeffersonville.
Summit Construction LLC and LDG Group have acquired more than 20 acres of land in the industrial park for nearly $2.3 million and plan to invest and plan to invest more than $21 million to build the facilities.
The new buildings will combine for a total of more than 300,000 square feet of space. Summit Construction plans to begin site work by mid-2024.
“It’s great to have such an experienced developer continue making a major impact at River Ridge and reinforcing what we already know – this is a great place to do business,” River Ridge Development Authority Executive Director Jerry Acy said in a news release. “Summit Construction has a track record of success and recognizes the value we offer here in Southern Indiana. We are pleased with their continued investment in River Ridge.”
Both buildings are expected to be completed in 2025. Details on potential tenants that would occupy the facilities was not provided.
River Ridge Commerce Center is a 6,000-acre business and office park. Established in 1998, the complex was designed to offset the lost economic activity caused by the closure of the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant.
The industrial park has seen several major projects announced over the last several months, including Facebook parent Meta planning an $800 million data center campus.
Additionally, Canadian Solar last year announced an $800 million investment in a new solar photovoltaic cell production facility that is expected to create 1,200 jobs over the next several years.
