The city’s Metropolitan Development Commission is scheduled to hear the request from GrinOn Industries LLC in Monsanto, Wash., on Wednesday. MDC staff already has recommended approval of a three-year property tax abatement.
GrinOn said it is prepared to move its production operations to a facility at 760 Winton Drive in the Park 100 industrial park on Indianapolis’ northwest side.
The company plans to invest $2.5 million in manufacturing and information technology equipment to increase production capabilities, and to create 40 jobs at an average wage of $17 an hour.
GrinOn uses what it calls the Bottoms Up Draft Beer Dispensing System to serve the alcoholic beverages faster.
The system, which fills cups at a rate of up to nine times faster than traditional beer taps, filled 56 beers in one minute—setting the world record in January for “fastest beer-dispensing system,” the company said on its website.
GrinOn would save $49,569 in property taxes over the life of the three-year abatement if its granted.
