FLOSOURCE ANNOUNCES GROWTH IN MORGAN COUNTY, INDIANA
The employees of FloSource, Inc., located in Martinsville, Indiana, have announced that the company and its team will be relocating into a new facility in Mooresville, Indiana in mid-2019.
FloSource is recognized for its leadership in distributing valve, actuation, instrumentation, and steam equipment to a variety of users including original equipment manufacturers, mechanical contractors, and a wide variety of end user sectors including energy, oil and gas processing, food and beverage, chemicals, pharma, steel, and environmental management.
According to Amy MacOwan, President of FloSource, "We have enjoyed steady growth at our Martinsville location during our time in the community. With the upcoming I-69 interstate construction project through Martinsville, our property is slated for acquisition and demolition. When we looked for alternative locations that would not be disruptive to our near-term operations while providing long-

term growth, we considered other communities outside of Morgan County because of our critical need for open transportation routes. The search brought us right back to Morgan County. With the assistance of the Morgan County Economic Development Corporation, the Town of Mooresville, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), and our state legislators, Representative Peggy Mayfield and Senator Rod Bray, we found our new location in Flagstaff Business Park in Mooresville. By remaining in Morgan County, we will be able to retain and grow our workforce- our family- that makes FloSource the reputable business that it is today. Our roots run deep here. We won't miss a beat during the development of our new facility, and we are excited to continue the challenge of exceeding our customers' expectations while we prepare for the future."
With 28 employees at its current location, FloSource anticipates creating 10 additional jobs as a result of the relocation and expansion of its operations.
FloSource is a Certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE).

CHANGE OF SCENERY: MARTINSVILLE, STATE UNVEIL I-69 DESIGNS
By: Lance Gideon, Reporter-Times
The Interstate 69 project will have a lasting effect on the city of Martinsville.
While many of those impacts are sure to be economic in nature, the interstate will change the visual appearance of the city.
“The interstate will shape our future,” Martinsville Mayor Shannon Kohl said at a press conference Thursday to announce potential de sign elements for the new interstate. “We have taken every opportunity to influence not just where it will go, but how it will look.”
Because of the pending changes coming to Martinsville, a task force was created with local citizens to weigh in on the aesthetic side of the interstate as it traverses through the city.

"The number of Americans with a criminal history is on the rise, and nearly one-third of the adult working-age population has a record.1 A new nationwide study commissioned by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Charles Koch Institute (CKI) finds that, while these Americans do face additional scrutiny during the hiring process, many employees, managers, and Human Resources (HR) professionals, are open to working with and hiring people with criminal histories."

Highlights from the article
- Page 2: “82% of managers and 67% of HR professionals feel that the “quality of hire” for workers with criminal records is as high as or higher than that for workers without records. 74% of both managers and HR believe the cost of hiring individuals with criminal records is the same as or lower than that of hiring individuals without criminal records.”
- Page 4: “While quality and costs are perceived to be similar for applicants with and without criminal records, other considerations play an important role in hiring decisions. Among both managers and HR professionals, the top-

reasons for extending job offers to workers with criminal records are hiring the best candidate, giving individuals a second chance, and wanting to make the community a better place

- employment references,
- job training, a certificate of rehabilitation.
- Slightly lower proportions are influenced by positive stories from other business leaders, replacement programs, or monetary incentives like tax deductions”
