KINGSBURYÂ â The owner of Kingsbury Elevator is planning to expand the business.
Ed Lindborg is seeking a zoning variance to allow him to store flammable anhydrous ammonia inside two tanks, each holding up to 45,000 gallons of the crop fertilizer.
Lindborg said the anhydrous ammonia would be shipped to the elevator at Kingsbury Industrial Park in rail cars from four production facilities in Mississippi, Iowa and Canada.
The fertilizer, compressed in liquid form, would be stored in tanks to be located in an open field more than two thousand feet from the grain elevator.
He said the anhydrous ammonia would be held until delivered by semi to retailers mostly in northern Indiana and southern Michigan.
LAPORTEÂ â A manufacturer of machines that fill containers with liquids ranging from juice to distilled spirits and cleaning solution is planning to expand.
E-PAK Machinery would add 30,000 square feet to its operation on Ind. 39 near LaPorte Municipal Airport. The county has prepared an incentive package to ensure that growth happens.
E-PAK President Tony Swedersky said increasing demand for liquid filling machines designed and made by his company over the past 10 years has created a need to expand.
He said demand was heightened during the pandemic for machines designed to bottle sanitizers and disinfectants.
âThe demand right now that we have for space is very painful because of that uptick,â Swedersky said.
