Letter From The Chairman
In 2010, the EDC continued creating employment for Wayne County by helping existing business and looking for new business opportunities. Staff was focused under Tim Rogers’ direction
as he settled into his second full year. Tim and Valerie Shaffer continued to meet with employers around the county to make sure we were serving all business needs. This helped us workwith companies in the county including:• JM Hutton - grant to assist in expansion• Reel Options (Vandor) – grant to expand capacity• Hagerstown Plastics – grant to increase efficiency leading to an increase in business• Elevator Equipment Company - grant to assist in expansion• Transilwrap – grant to bring in new equipment, expand their facilities and business• B & F Plastics - grant to transition into new ownership and keep a core business fromrelocating outside the county and state
A new business, Perpetual Recycling Solutions, has the potential to be a great corporate
partner. We need a company like Perpetual that focuses on the Community and its Citizens
with employment opportunities, new construction and state-of-the-art equipment. Uponcompletion, Perpetual will establish an environment of a community friendly business andsustainability that will lead all Americans.
One of our major undertakings was the completion of the EDC Marketing Plan. This plan will allow the staff and directors tostay focused in the future. Our major market focuses are:
• Marketing our target industries as identified by the recent target industry analysis.
• Creating a higher profile for Wayne County through increased use of electronic media.
• Strengthening the message that Wayne County is a great place to do business.
At the end of 2010, the EDC entered into a relationship that will provide centralized leadership in Wayne County economic
development and business support. The contractual relationship with the Wayne County Area Chamber of Commerce is a goodstep to focus on fiscal responsibility and communication between community leaders and business. Both boards stressed equity
and responsibility between the organizations while carefully weighing the individual goals of each. We finalized this contract at
the start of 2011.
It was a pleasure to work with Tim, Valerie, Renee Doty and Norene Groth. Renee’s work in community affairs, communication
responsibilities and searching for new grant opportunities will give us access to avenues not yet recognized. Norene’s officemanagement, training and financial responsibilities continue to help the everyday activities and fiscal responsibility thecommunity expects. We also need to recognize key sponsors that help our educational development. We want to thank Hoosier
Energy, Whitewater Valley REMC and Indiana Municipal Power Agency for their continued support of training throughEconomic Development Institute classes. This builds a strong background that will pay dividends.

B USINESS DEVELOPMENT
The EDC of Wayne County continued to partner with our existing
businesses in 2010 working with 7 companies in expansion or retention projects. The EDC was also happy to announce the location of a
new business in our community. Perpetual Recycling Solutions will
locate in the former General Aluminum building.
J. M. Hutton Company ~ J. M.
Hutton was outsourcing segments of their work to companies outside of Wayne
County when they saw an opportunity that would allow
them to expand and create
new jobs by bringing thatwork in house. They needed
new equipment and additional space. The EDC provided an EDIT grant of$18,080 to assist with thepurchase of a new building
and necessary equipment. The company invested over $675,000 in the
project and will create 11 full-time jobs. J. M. Hutton has the distinction of
being the oldest casket manufacturer in the U.S. operating out of the same
location and under the same name since its inception.
Perpetual Recycling Solutions, LLC ~ Following a lengthy search using
a site selection consultant, Perpetual Recycling Solutions announced
they would be making Richmond their home for a new, state-of-the-art
plastics recycling company. The company will locate in the former
General Aluminum building that was vacated in 2008. The EDC provided an EDIT grant of $350,000 and the City of Richmond provided an
EDIT grant of $125,000, both to be used to reimburse the company for
expenses related to the purchase of machinery and equipment, as wellas the purchase and renovation of real estate. The company will invest$25 million that will include improvements to the 100,000 square footbuilding and will create 55 new jobs by 2012 with an annual payroll of$2 million. The Indiana Economic Development Corporation also
provided up to $550,000 in performance-based tax credits and up to$50,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans.
Perpetual Recycling Solutions recycles plastic food and beveragecontainers into FDA grade clean flake for re-use by food and beveragecontainer manufacturers. When completed, the plant will be capableof converting over 130 million pounds of previously landfilled
food and beverage containers, which is the equivalent of
1 billion plastic bottles.
Transilwrap Company, Inc. ~ If
you’ve eaten at a restaurant,bought plants for your garden orused a snow board there’s a goodchance you’ve come in contact
with something made fromTransilwrap’s Richmond facility.
When the company had an
opportunity to expand theirproduct line, the EDC provided
an EDIT grant of $45,000 to assist with the purchase of new
equipment and training of new
employees. The company invested $2.5 million and will
create 10 full-time jobs. Transilwrap’s Richmond facility manufactures laminates and extrusion
coatings for a diverse number of products on a global scale. Additionally,
the company specializes in holograms, transferable or ultraviolet ink
receptive and lamination films. The company also has a green line ofproducts that are biodegradable. Richmond’s facility is among the largest
out of 9 other locations in the United States and Canada, with
headquarters in Franklin Park, Illinois.

B & F Plastics, Inc. ~ When theopportunity to purchase B & F
Plastics arose, a local management group sought to purchasethe plant where over 50 people
are employed providing a
payroll of nearly $2 million. If
unsuccessful, the group knew
the company’s assets could be
separated and sold at auction,
ultimately resulting in thecompany’s closure and a loss ofthe existing jobs and investment. The EDC provided an
EDIT grant of $200,000 to assist the local management group in theirefforts to purchase the company and keep the operations and the existing jobs in Wayne County. Additionally, with the purchase of thecompany, over 20 new jobs are being created. B & F Plastics opened as ascreen printing company focused on signs and displays. Shortly after
opening, the company began producing their own substrate and custom
compounded materials that are used in a wide range of industries including recreation and RV, construction, office supplies, automotive andtruck products, and gardening and agriculture supplies among others.
Reel Options, Division of Vandor ~ The
Reel Options brand was developed by
Vandor in 2000. Reel Options was created to manufacture packaging reels injection molded from reprocessed plastic,
primarily for the electrical conductor,
wire and cable and cordage and hoseindustries. The company wanted to
expand its product line by offering
plywood reels and utility spools. The
EDC provided an EDIT grant of $15,640
to assist with the installation of new
equipment and the training of new

Plastics needed a larger space to be able to run multiple machines and increase overall efficiency which would then allow them to bring in newwork. The company manufactures a wide range of injection molded products as well as other services. The company invested $260,000 and will create 6 new, full-time jobs. The EDC provided an EDIT grant of $6,825 toassist with the purchase and renovation of the new facility and to train new
employees. The company will use the smaller building for warehousing.

14 full-time employees and invested$150,000. The EDC provided an EDIT
