Logistics Company Plans Up To 500 Jobs In Central Indiana

Associated Press

A logistics company plans to open a distribution center in central Indiana that will employ up to 500 full-time workers.

Whitestown officials announced Wednesday night that Style Link Logistics LLC plans to spend $3.5 million to open the center at the 65 Commerce Park Building 4, just east of Interstate 65.

The company is affiliated with online retailer Shein, and the distribution center will provide returns-processing and fulfillment services for Shein and several other major brands, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported.

The Whitestown Town Council on Wednesday approved a four-year personal property tax abatement for EC Best Service Inc., an affiliate of Style Link Logistics.

“The hundreds of jobs they are bringing is welcomed news in our community,” Town Council President Clinton Bohm said in written remarks.

Whitestown is located about 20 miles northwest of downtown Indianapolis.

The abatement is expected to save the company up to $98,000, while providing $140,000 in personal property taxes to Boone County and $600,000 in local income taxes.

The abatement agreement states that employees at the distribution center will make an average wage of $16 per hour.

GOP US Rep. Spartz, of Indiana, charged with bringing gun through airport security, officials say

Authorities say Indiana Republican U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz has been charged with bringing a firearm through airport security. Airport officials said Monday she was charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor. Spartz's office says she was traveling to Europe and mistakenly carried an unloaded handgun in the pocket of her suitcase while going through security at Washington Dulles International Airport. Spartz is a staunch Second Amendment Republican representing central Indiana. She won her primary in May after saying last year that she would retire from congress. The charge carries up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted.
