In November, Cook Group Inc. announced plans to invest $7 million to build a 40,000-square-foot assembly plant on the northeast side of Indianapolis, creating 100 jobs for residents in an impoverished neighborhood.
The project is being developed as a public-private partnership with Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana, The Indianapolis Foundation, and the United Northeast Community Development Corp. Employees will assemble medical devices, such as catheters and needles, for Cook, but they will be employees of Goodwill Commercial Services.
