add to the tax base, and have a large positive economic
impact on the community. While the investment fund

County Commissioners and Council for giving us the
ability to provide an investment incentive such as this

community,” said Joe Pierce, President of the LCEDC.
“Their foresight in helping the LCEDC create this
fund continues to pay dividends for our economic
development efforts.”
“Therma-Tru Corp. has been a great partner to
work with,” said Keith Gillenwater, Executive Director
of the LCEDC. “The LaGrange County Investment
Fund board, along with the board of the LCEDC, is
happy to support a great company like Therma-Tru
Corp. as they continue to make investments in our
community. LaGrange County is a perfect location for
transportation, distribution, and logistics operations
such as Therma-Tru Corp.’s and we look forward to
helping them grow long into the future.”
