The Joint Economic Development Organization (JEDO) board of Topeka and Shawnee County has approved $530,000 in economic incentives for two local manufacturing companies. This strategic move aims to bolster the region's industrial sector and foster job creation. J.M. Smucker Co. is set to receive $383,000 to support a significant $20.5 million expansion project focused on enhancing employee facilities. Concurrently, HF Rubber will be granted $147,000 for its $1.6 million expansion, an initiative projected to create 19 new employment opportunities. These incentives underscore the commitment to strengthening Topeka's manufacturing base and driving local economic growth. The projects are expected to generate substantial economic impact for the county.
