Governor Holcomb visits Liberty, announces new business coming to town
March 22, 2023 at 7:11 p.m.
Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb joined local officials at the Union County Courthouse this past Thursday to welcome Full Throttle Fulfillment Solutions to town. The company, a third- party logistics provider, was in Liberty to announce its plans to establish operations in Union County, creating up to 50 new jobs by the end of 2026.
The courthouse in Liberty was abuzz as Angelia Snyder was introduced and began to speak about her mission bringing Full Throttle to Liberty, just before the governor made his way to the front of the courtroom and greeted the gathered crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury…” he began, to laughs, “I think the case is clear. When you get a CEO like Angie and a family business together with the state of Indiana, good things happen.” While Gov. Holcomb drew on small town images of the movie “Hoosiers,” as well as NCAA basketball's March Madness, this announcement also fell during Women's History Month, a great time to announce the arrival of a female-owned business. Snyder, an entrepreneur with over 19 years of experience in ecommerce and founder/CEO of Full Throttle Fulfillment Solutions, was happy to bring her business here. “My husband, Malcom Snyder, was raised in Liberty and has long, established roots here. By locating in Liberty, we hope to deepen these connections, build strong ties with the community and contribute to the region's economic growth.” Snyder also founded and owns Archer Full Throttle, an archery-focused ecommerce and fulfillment company in Connersville.
“I'm grateful that this businesswoman recognized the business opportunities available in Union County. I wish them nothing but success and look forward to their business prospering for years to come,” said TIm Williams, president of the Union County Commissioners. “Anytime a small community such as ours can add jobs and create new opportunities for others to have local employment, it’s a good thing for the community. I hope that others will follow their example and look for ways to grow or start a new business in Union County.”
And according to Governor Holcomb, that's exactly the idea. A recent article by Forbes named Indiana the number one state for starting a new business in 2023, Indiana Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers announced, adding, “Small businesses like Full Throttle Fulfillment Solutions are critical to providing quality career opportunities and to advancing the success and vitality of our neighborhoods. This is the first economic development project to locate in Union County in nearly 30 years, and the impact this investment and this company will have on the community will be transformative.”
“It's so fitting that we start March Madness today…to think about it in terms of small schools and small towns and what you can accomplish when you build a good team,” Gov. Holcomb later told The Herald. “And that team includes the local and the state government. We are out to invest as a state in our rural areas like never before,” Holcomb said, mentioning the READI grants, and the quality of life that people look for in places like Union County. “We'll continue to try to leverage [dollars] that can go toward all those pieces of the puzzle that a community wants to snap together. And then you arrive at a day like today where the entrepreneurs say they want that stable, healthy environment to grow, like this one. This is a big deal for our state, as a statement that it can happen and it is happening.”
Full Throttle Fulfillment Solutions will invest $7.3 million in the coming years to establish operations in Liberty, initially leasing and equipping a 23,000-square-foot space at 757 S. State Road 101. The company expects to begin renovations on the space in April, as well as planning to add to the property in the next few years.
Full Throttle plans to begin hiring May 1, with positions available for bookkeeping, warehouse management, human resources, pickers and packers, and a shipping and receiving manager. Positions are said to pay higher than average Union County salaries. Interested applicants can send resumes to [email protected].
