A team effort to secure the expansion of CSP’s Indiana facility in the Riverfork Industrial Park in Huntington included support from the Huntington County Economic Development Corporation, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, the Huntington County Board of Commissioners and the City of Huntington.
