Manufacturing plant originally planned for Getrag transmissions in 2008. Getrag was sued by Chrysler regarding the financing for the plant, and was never made operational.

Abound Solar was promised $400 million by Federal Government to establish a solar panel manufacturing facility in this never-used building in 2010, but Abound Solar later filed for bankruptcy.

The existing facility sat empty along the east edge of US-31 until May 2014, when Chrysler finally started production of the automobile transmissions for which the plant was originally built.

Facility includes a water treatment plant on the north side of the property, and a wastewater treatment plant on the east side of the property south of the electrical substation.
