MERRILLVILLEÂ â New developments coming to town represent more than $70 million in investments and hundreds of job opportunities.
One of the most significant is a $50.3 million project to create a Dominoâs Pizza supply chain center in the AmeriPlex at the Crossroads business park.
Dominoâs plans to create up to 140 new jobs by the end of 2023 for the supply chain center, which will have a main purpose of producing fresh dough balls.

Eric Holcomb said. âIâm so thankful this new Dominoâs facility will not only create quality career opportunities for Hoosiers in northwest Indiana, but will also help provide countless families with a slice of happiness across the Midwest.â
