What the Ultium LLC plant could mean for New Carlisle

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. - Manufacturing is one of the largest industries that makes up the town of New Carlisle and a new electric vehicle battery plant could have a significant impact on the town.  

If approved, the Ultium LLC plant would add 1,600 jobs to New Carlisle.

"This really is the future and if the future can start here, then we're real excited about being a part of that," said Bill Schalliol, Executive Director of Economic Development in St. Joseph County.

The vote for approval was pushed back two weeks during a meeting on Tuesday night.

Construction on the plant could start as early as spring 2023.
