GOSHEN, Ind. — The Elkhart Truth and Goshen News report that Alliance RV, a startup company considering a $12 million investment in Elkhart County, has received approval for tax incentives from both the Elkhart County Commissioners and the Elkhart City Council. The new company, owned by Thomas Coley Brady and Ryan Brady, plans to make high-end fifth-wheel and tow-behind campers, according to a statement by Chris Stager, president of the Elkhart County Economic Development Corp. Alliance RV would “employ up to 175 people with an average hourly wage of $32.31 an hour,” Stager said. The Bradys also considered locating in Branch County, Michigan, and Lucas County, Ohio.
The family-owned company plans to build an $11.3 million, 132,500-square-foot manufacturing facility, and spend another $750,000 on equipment, with additional investments of $100,000 in logistics equipment and $100,000 in IT equipment, according to the statement of benefits filed with the city. Thirty acres of property, in a designated Economic Revitalization Area at the southeast corner of C.R. 17 and Beck Drive, has been set aside for the production facility. Tax incentives will include a seven-year tax phase-in on the assessed value of the real estate and five years for the equipment.
