BUTLER â With a 3-0 vote, Butlerâs Economic Development Commission Friday recommended that Therma-Tru be granted 10-year tax abatements for a planned $43.6 million expansion of its facility at 601 R.E. Jones Road.
The recommendation now goes to Butlerâs City Council, which will consider the request at its meeting Monday.
The three-member EDC board â Jay Jacobs, Dawn Mason and president Rick Walters â all voted in favor of the abatements.
Therma-Tru plans to build a 23,000-square-foot addition to its facility at the south end of Butler to house new manufacturing equipment, including six new presses. The company also plans to hire 53 people.

Many area festivals and fairs are slated to return in 2021 after COVID-19 wiped out most events a year ago.
âThings are definitely happening in LaGrange County,â said Phyllis Youga, executive director of the LaGrange County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Shipshewanaâs MayFest went off well, with some new events planned and returning events forthcoming.
âWe are seeing a great response,â Youga said. âWe are very pleased with the recovery.â The popular flea market in Shipshewana resumed in May at 85% capacity. Businesses sheâs talked to are also happy with the rebound.
