More Jobs for Howard County

STATEHOUSE- State Rep. Mike Karickhoff (R-Kokomo) is pleased to hear that Appex Group Inc. is expanding their operation in Howard County and creating more jobs in the community.
 
According to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Appex Group  Inc,, a demolition and roll off company that specializes in disposing of waste generated by construction, demolition and remediation industries, announced an expansion. Appex Group Inc. will add an estimated 26 new green jobs in Howard County.

“Creating more jobs is step one for a stronger economy,” said Rep. Karickhoff.  “The recent announcement of the expansion of Appex Group Inc. in Howard County is news that is sure to be met with open arms and able bodies.”

The expansion is reportedly for a new single-stream recycling project. This will allow for recyclable materials to be easily separated. The sort line will use a cross belt magnet to remove ferrous materials. Manual hand sorting separates aluminum, glass, paper and plastic materials. The approximate throughput will be 300 tons per month.
  
This new expansion will divert an estimated 3,560 tons of recyclables from landfills annually.
 
“Putting Hoosiers back to work is vital to the Hoosier economy,” said Rep. Karickhoff.  “This project is a win-win for everyone involved. All Hoosiers benefit with more jobs and a cleaner Howard County and state.”
