Forest River Products could be expanding its operations in Butler, Ind.
Mayor Mike Hartman said the Elkhart-based company has secured an agreement to acquire 72 acres of land on the west side of South Broadway.
The property is between Color Master and South Shore Mobile Home Park.
Company officials declined to comment, deferring all questions to the city of Butler.
From his conversations with Forest River officials, Hartman said the project is a “multi-million dollar” investment with four to five buildings that, when finished, could result in the creation of up to 500 jobs.
