CASA GRANDE — The City Council approved an “enthusiastic” motion for a development agreement with Kohler Co. that will allow a manufacturing plant to employ hundreds of people.
City staff elaborated on plans for the Kohler plant during a special council meeting on Tuesday night. The project, formerly teased as “Project Buckshot” before negotiations could be made public, calls for a 1-million-square-foot plant on 200 acres in the city’s industrial corridor.
“We’ve had a fair amount of activity, both industrial and residential these last 18 months,” said City Manager Larry Rains. “This is just some of the fruits of that labor. Staff is extremely excited to bring this company to our community.”
