ADM To Open Tech Center In Kentucky

Agribusiness company Archer Daniels Midland says it plans to
open a new informational technology center next year in Kentucky that will
eventually employ about 200 people.
 
The Chicago-based company said Thursday that the new center will open in the
second half of 2015 in Erlanger, Kentucky, with about 100 contractors and ADM
employees and eventually expand.
 
The center will be in the same complex as ADM's WILD Flavors offices in
Erlanger. The town is about 15 miles southwest of Cincinnati.
 
ADM initially planned to build a new IT center as part of a new global
headquarters but dropped that idea when it chose to locate in Chicago.
 
ADM will maintain its existing IT center in Decatur, Illinois.
 
The company will receive up to $5 million in tax incentives from Kentucky.
