ANDERSON, Ind. - Nestle USA plans to invest $72 million to add a seventh production line to its plant in Anderson, the beverage maker announced Tuesday.

The Anderson City Council last year gave preliminary approval to a tax break worth as much as $14 million in hopes of landing the investment-and the new jobs that could accompany it.

At the time, Nestle's capital investment was estimated to be $166 million.

Nestle employs about 700 workers at the Anderson plant overlooking Interstate 69. A spokesman said officials don't know yet how many positions will be added.

Expected to be up and running sometime next year, the new line will increase production capacity for Nestle's Boost Complete nutritional drink and its Carnation Breakfast Essentials, according to a news release.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. -"Colorful with Montgomery County scenes" are the words being used in describing the new mural on the east side of the Journal Review Building. How artist Ann Stanley put together such a large project will be celebrated at 7 p.m. Monday in the Donnelley Room of the Crawfordsville District Public Library.

The meeting is open to the public as part of the Art League of Montgomery County's general meeting. The program is entitled "It Takes a Village to Create a Mural."

"We are excited to learn more about the project and how it came together," league vice-president Pat Stull said. "We are all anxiously awaiting for the mural to appear from start to finish."

Local artist and Hoover Elementary teacher Ann Stanley is overseeing the project. Stanley has used over one dozen local artists, nearly all of whom are Stanley's former students, to work on the mural that is easily seen at the corner of N. Washington and Market streets.
