If you want fries with that, you have several downtown dining options.But fast food – which is sold on dozens of street corners around town – isn’t enough to draw people to the city’s core.Fremont Plastics Inc. plans to invest $1.37 million to expand its factory and add new equipment as it creates four new jobs.
The Fremont Redevelopment Commission today approved the project, which includes a 10,000-square-foot addition to the company’s existing operation at 500 W. Water St. The addition is expected to cost $700,000.
The company, which employs 26, also plans to spend $668,000 on new equipment. Fremont Plastics’ website is under construction, but it lists sterile and non-sterile medical trays as a category. Company and town officials couldn’t be reached late today.
The manufacturer’s request for a tax abatement is scheduled to be considered by the Fremont Town Council on Oct. 16, said Jessica Christen, who works for the Steuben County Economic Development Corp.
