King's Hawaiian is ready to proceed with plans for a $180 million investment in Taylorsville.

It will be the company's first U.S. Midwest production site which will employ 150 people and an average wage of nearly $30 per hour.

The land parcel is 88 acres at the intersection of U.S. 31 and Interstate 65.

Earlier, Bartholomew County approved over $3 million in infrastructure improvements for water, sewer and traffic.

Construction is expected to begin in 2024.
