During the April 17 Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission meeting, Commission members unanimously approved Site and Operational Plans for an approximately 50,000-square-foot addition to the west side of the existing LMI Packaging (LMI) facility at 8911 102nd Street in LakeView Corporate Park. The building expansion will add to the west side of the 70,955-square-foot LMI Packaging facility. LMI plans to construct the new addition with pre-cast panels and paint that matches the existing facility. There are currently 200 employees, running four shifts with 40 to 50 employees on-site at a time. With the addition, LMI anticipates expanding employment to 200 or 300 full-time and 50 to 75 part-time employees. "We are excited to see the growth of LMI Packaging and their continued investment in Pleasant Prairie," said Village Administrator Eric Rindfleisch. "The facility expansion will create additional job opportunities for the community and contribute to the overall economic development of Pleasant Prairie." LMI is a third-generation family-owned business that produces heat seal lidding for the food and beverage markets. The company relocated to Pleasant Prairie from Illinois in 1993 and recently proposed the building expansion to accommodate the business's strategic needs. The company is experiencing significant demand, and the added warehousing space will provide room for the company to develop additional product lines to keep pace with the fast-paced growth. LMI expects to expand the product lines at the facility within two years and intends to begin the expansion project this May and complete construction in November.
