Midwest Fertilizer Corp. issued a statement Friday in response to Gov. Mike Pence’s announcement that he had order financial support for the Posey County plan withdrawn due to concerns about whether its Pakistan-based owners are doing enough at its overseas operations to keep the potentially explosive material from being used against U.S. troops.
The company says the Fatima Group has begun tracking its product and suspended sales of a chemical used in both fertilizer and explosives in some Pakistani provinces.
Midwest says it’s still exploring options with local economic development officials. The company says the plant is expected to create 300 permanent jobs.
