CANADIAN COMPANY TO BRING 125 TO FORMER VISTEON PLANT

(Connersville, IN)--There is a major economic development announcement for Connersville and the Whitewater Valley.  Nova Chemicals is a Canadian producer of sustainable plastics that announced Tuesday that it will establish its first mechanical recycling facility in Connersville.  Nova said it will create 125 jobs in the coming years at what was once the Visteon facility on Western Avenue.  It will build out a portion of the 1.7 million-square-foot facility and make plastic film to be used in food packaging.  Nova said that it chose Connersville because of its access to abundant supplies from nearby metropolitan areas as well as easy access to rail service.  Its first processing line is expected to be up and running in just under two years.
