"State and local representatives from Indiana were particularly instrumental in our efforts to finalize plans for this state-of-the-art facility and create high-paying jobs for Hoosier workers," said Steve Abely, Abound's CFO. "We are excited about the opportunity to make America a global driver of renewable, affordable and abundant solar energy."
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation has extended up to $11.85 million in tax credits and $250,000 in training grants to Abound. Tipton County has also approved incentives such as tax abatement.
