Starke County government leaders, along with officials from the Starke County Economic Development Foundation, are reportedly working with some partners to possibly acquire the Sysco property in Hamlet.
Foundation Executive Director Larry Wickert said a meeting with two entities to discuss the acquisition of the property in a potential partnership was held in the last couple of weeks.
County Council President Dave Pearman clarified that the county is hoping that they can work with Sysco officials in giving back to the county since their proposition failed to come to fruition that would have brought in hundreds of new jobs to the county several years ago.
Pearman also clarified that the county is not committing any money toward this project at this point as discussions continue.
