The site development plan for RISU America’s first manufacturing facility in the United States received a favorable recommendation from the City of Shelbyville Plan Commission Monday at City Hall.
The proposed facility located at 867 W. Boomer Way would be the 15th Japanese company to set up operations in Shelby County. The company produces plastic shipping pallets.
The 28,758-acre lot will feature an 80,000 square foot building that will include offices, a loading dock and drainage pond.

The commission also provided a favorable recommendation Monday on a petition from the Shelby County Board of Commissioners to rezone seven parcels located at 10 W. Polk St., 20 W. Polk St., 47 W. Hendricks St. and 59 W. Hendricks St. to IS (Institutional).
The petition lists the Shelby County Annex II building, the Shelby County Probation office building, recently constructed parking lots and two recently demolished structures – all owned by the Shelby County Commissioners.
The commission also received an informal presentation on the proposed Eight37 Lofts project slated for the city’s west side.
TWG Development wants to build an 138-unit apartment complex at 837 Webster St. TWG is an Indianapolis-based affordable and workforce housing developer.
The company is working to meet tax credit deadlines and expects to make a formal presentation at the Plan Commission’s May meeting.
The site plan currently features two buildings and a separate clubhouse on site. There also will be a playground and fitness center. There will be one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment units in the complex.
The project is part of the state’s new workforce housing program. Rent will be capped at certain amounts based on restricted incomes.
TWG would like to break ground on the project in June.
