According to Wikipedia, "Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide. It is the gradual deterioration of materials (usually a metal) by chemical or electrochemical reaction with their environment." "Rusting, the formation of red-orange iron oxides, is a well-known example of electrochemical corrosion. This type of corrosion typically produces oxides or salts of the original metal and results in a distinctive coloration."Historical references to corrosion can be found as far back as the beginning of the first millennium. A Roman philosopher, Pliny (AD 23-79), wrote at length about ferrum corrumpitur or spoiled iron. More recently, in a textbook entitled, "Die chemische Behandlung der Rohstoffe" ("The chemical Treatment of Raw Materials"), published in 1877, it was stated, "The love that iron has for oxygen causes great suffering because of the rust it produces and because we hardly possess sufficient means to combat it." *While most of us typically look at corrosion as a relatively minor nuisance, in fact, the cost of corrosion to the global economy is staggering. It has been estimated that the global cost of corrosion is approximately $3.5 trillion annually, roughly 3.4% of annual global Gross Domestic Product.There are many examples where corrosion has led to significant economic cost and tragic loss of life. In 2018, a bridge collapsed in Genoa, Italy, resulting in the death of 43 people. According to the Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University at the time, "Italian engineering experts have heavy suspicions that corrosion to the bridge's steel cables contributed to the collapse, saying that it decreased the bridge's overall strength by 20%"In December, 1999, a Maltese oil tanker broke in two while traveling near the coast of Brittany, France. Nearly 19,800 tons of oil were spilled. According to a group known as Corrosion Doctors, "In an inspection in Portland in July, 1994, holes were discovered in the main deck coaming, indicating that signs of corrosion were already in place more than five years before. It was also found that there were holes in both the portside and starboard inert gas system risers, which are critical items of safety equipment. There was yet more evidence of corrosion, with the ship's watertight doors not sealing properly and wasting on the door coamings."In Bhopal, India in December of 1984 - one of the world's largest industrial disasters occurred - resulting in the death of over 2,000 people. Corrosion caused two toxic gasses, coupled with a pesticide, to leak into the atmosphere from a pesticide plant. More specifically, there was the penetration of a large amount of water into a tank with over 40 tons of methyl isocyanate (MIC), which caused a chemical reaction, resulting in a rapid rise of pressure and water. Heat generated by the reaction - coupled with chloroform concentrations higher than normal - along with the presence of an iron catalyst caused by the corrosion of the stainless steel tank wall resulted in the opening of a safety valve. Subsequently, wind blew the resulting cloud of gas, exposing more than 500,000 people to the toxicity of the various ingredients, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives. (The official death toll was 2,259, but unofficial numbers were as high as 8,000.)So, corrosion (and the prevention thereof) is a very big deal, resulting in people dedicating their entire lives to preventing this naturally-occurring process, thus providing safety, commerce and increased quality of life to billions of people around the world. The creation of Germany-based ZINKPOWER is a classic entrepreneurial success story. Magda and Willi Kopf founded ZINKPOWER in a small, hot-dip galvanizing shop in Goppingen, Germany in 1973. Today, the company operates 50 facilities in 13 countries around the world. Each facility is dedicated to the prevention of metal corrosion, through hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating and other processes. Later in 2025, ZINKPOWER Terre Haute , LLC will commence operations as the newest facility within ZINKPOWER and the KOPF Group.We first spoke to representatives of ZINKPOWER in late 2018. In January, 2024, we received a call from Executive Vice-President Joe Langemeier stating that the company was ready to proceed with its Terre Haute/Vigo County project. After acquiring a project site from Great Dane Terre Haute (which will be ZINKPOWER Terre Haute's most significant customer), the company broke ground on its new facility on October 3, 2024.ZINKPOWER anticipates total investment in its new state-of-the-art hot-dip galvanizing facility of over $47 million, with $25.7 million being invested in real property (buildings) and $21.5 million in personal property (equipment). Approximately 100 new full-time jobs will be created by the new project. ZINKPOWER Terre Haute will be the company's fourth facility in the United States, joining sister plants in Texas, Oregon and Wisconsin.The Terre Haute Economic Development Corporation has worked closely with ZINKPOWER representatives (beginning in late 2018) in regard to the company's Terre Haute/Vigo County project. We are looking forward to the commencement of operations later this year. * Die chemische Behandlung der Rohstoffe passage courtesy of ZINKPOWER's website.Amazon Hub Delivery Center Opens in Vigo County Industrial Park IEarly December, 2024 brought the opening of one of Amazon's newest Hub Delivery Centers in the Vigo County Industrial Park I. At the February 13, 2024 meeting of the Vigo County Redevelopment Commission, it was revealed that Amazon would be constructing a "last-mile" Hub Delivery Center at the southwest corner of Industrial Drive and Carlisle Street in the Vigo County Industrial Park I. Construction commenced in earnest a few weeks later, with the facility opening just in time for the 2024 Christmas season. The new facility will serve Amazon customers within an approximate one-hour radius of the Vigo County Industrial Park.Amazon's Hub Delivery initiative was officially rolled-out by the company in July, 2023, thus our local facility was one of the first in the nation. In addition to Amazon's own employees (both full and part-time), Amazon will be partnering with small businesses and independent contractors to deliver packages as well. The total project employment at the new Vigo County facility will be approximately 200, about evenly divided between Amazon (both full and part-time) as well as private contractors (both full and part-time). Interestingly, Amazon's Hub Delivery program is especially keen in engaging existing local businesses as contractors for the delivery of packages. According to Amazon's website, this is how it works:Step 1 Each day, Amazon will deliver packages to the participating contracting business.Step 2 The contracting business' staff will deliver packages (within their area when they have time during the day).Step 3 The contracting business will get paid for every package that is delivered, thus providing another source of income to the business.Furthermore, Amazon's Hub Delivery business model makes it easy for a new contractor to get started as (a.) no delivery experience is required; (b.) there are no long-term contracts; (c.) the packages are delivered with the contracting business' existing staff and vehicles; (d.) the contractor is paid weekly via direct deposit and (e.) an Amazon app guides the contractor through each day's deliveries.The new Vigo County Industrial Park I Hub Delivery facility is 55,000 square feet in size, at a total investment of approximately $10.6 million. As of January, 2025, employment at the facility was nearly 100. This figure will grow over time, particularly later in 2025, when we, once again, approach the holiday season.The Terre Haute Economic Development Corporation commenced work with Amazon and its representatives on this project in August, 2023. ENTEK Construction Leaps Out of Starting Gate; Subsequently Slows Due to Federal Funding FreezeSeptember 6, 2023 brought the formal groundbreaking ceremony for ENTEK's new $1.5 billion lithium-ion battery separator facility, a facility that at full build-out will be approximately 1.6 million square feet in size and employ approximately 640 people.Continued at Schedule O 686607 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 3 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 53 51 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 IN X Sackrider & Company Inc 8122329492 1925 Wabash Avenue Terre Haute IN 47807 Claudia Tanoos Vice President 40.00 X X 86191 0 51222 Steve Witt President 40.00 X X 142190 0 67033 Mr Jeff Hogue Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Jennifer Isbell Scott Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Larry Yargus Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mayor Brandon Sakbun Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Dave Pluckebaum Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Tim Dora Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Brian Dorsett Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Casey Schroeppel Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Steve Danielson Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Jamie Amodeo Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Norm D Lowery Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Mark Unger Past Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Mark Fuson Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Pete Goda Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Melvin Burks Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Andy Hendricks Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Luke Terry Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr David Baker Chairman Elect 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Lea Anne Crooks Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Terry Mace Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Dan Gmelich Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Jim Nichols Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Kenny DePasse Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Greg Gibson Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Robert Coons Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Brennan Randolph Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Andy Volkl Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Tom Denny Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Roberto Bohrer Vice Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Tyler Dinkel Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr David Templeton Secretary/Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ms Kristin Craig Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Karen Dyer Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Craig Maschino Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Bart Colwell Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Paul Thrift Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Luciano Farias Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Steven Holman Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Commissioner Chris Switzer Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Christopher Himsel Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Leslie Beard Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Cassie Hoggatt Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Jasmine Lows Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Rob Riggins Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr John Collett Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Lance Gassert Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Cory R Lockebill Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Michael Godard Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Matthew Van Hosen Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Ellie Caldwell Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Clay Spangler Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Jordan Orwig Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Justin Jenkins Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 228381 0 118255 1 0 1 0 0 230000 308256 538256 Marketing Services 541900 250000 250000 250000 15549 15549 803805 250000 0 15549 346637 311973 34664 142524 128272 14252 10713 9642 1071 34982 31484 3498 29421 26479 2942 19532 19532 7202 6482 720 1050 945 105 67423 60681 6742 207 186 21 5958 5362 596 2094 1885 209 MT Plan 56302 56302 Marketing General 27693 27693 Dues & Fees 20657 18592 2065 Postage 699 629 70 773094 686607 86487 0 197304 408298 428908 448305 191036 30527 14635 75200 73290 2453 1910 99400 97884 0 3629 919101 1005188 5910 41286 80000 100000 85910 141286 X 833191 863902 833191 863902 919101 1005188 30711 0 X 1 X 0 0 0 0 1 0 33473 31563 1910 41727 41727 0 1910 US T Note Due 5/21/25 97884 C 97884 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Steve Witt President 142190 0 0 0 0 0 10634 0 56399 0 209223 0 0 0 Claudia Tanoos Vice President 86191 0 0 0 0 0 6446 0 44776 0 137413 0 0 0 Vigo County Executive Committee Member - Chris Switzer 125000 Marketing Services 0 City of Terre Haute Executive Committee Member - Brandon Sakbun 125000 Marketing Services 0 Form 990, Part III, Line 4a It should be noted that ENTEK will be manufacturing battery separator material at its new facility currently under construction in the Vigo County Industrial Park II. Battery separators are a very important component of a battery, but it is not the entire battery. ENTEK's customers are battery manufacturers who incorporate ENTEK separators into the final battery product. With the above in mind, a bit of additional detail regarding battery separators is in order. A battery separator is a thin membrane (constructed of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in the case of ENTEK separators) that contains "micropores" that are uniformly spread throughout the separator material. Placed between the cathode (positive electrode) and anode (negative electrode) of a battery, the separator prevents direct contact between the cathode and anode while also allowing the passage of ions (atoms that have lost or gained electrons and have become electrically charged) back and forth between the cathode and anode. As noted in last year's annual report, a large portion of the ENTEK project is being financed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), with loan funds authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). After a nearly two year application and review process, ENTEK achieved complete financial closure with the DOE on November 22, 2024. However, as we all know, President Trump upon taking office on January 20, 2025 issued an Executive Order freezing all Federal funding disbursements while the new administration has the opportunity to evaluate thousands of previous IRA grant awards, as well as other Federal funding outflows and programs. This Executive Order has caused ENTEK to temporarily slow its construction until the company's Federal DOE loan funds are, once again, released by the Department of Energy. The ENTEK team is quite optimistic that the hold on their particular DOE loan will be lifted in the very near future. ENTEK representatives have been working very closely with the DOE and the company's equity investors in this regard since Valentine's Day. ENTEK owns approximately 80% of the domestic market for the manufacture of lead acid battery separators. Regarding the lithium-ion separators that ENTEK will be manufacturing in Vigo County, the company's products will be used in nearly everything that utilizes a lithium-ion battery . . . everything from mobile phones to utility battery storage to electric vehicle batteries to all kinds of battery-powered tools and equipment. If a product contains a lithium-ion battery, chances are good that the battery will contain separator material manufactured by ENTEK. As demonstration of ENTEK's on-going work to remain the industry leader in battery separator technology, ENTEK received the 2024 BCI (Battery Council International) Innovation Award, ". . . for its solvent-free separator technology, providing a more environmentally friendly alternative that does not sacrifice strength or performance." In his comments regarding the BCI Innovation Award, Dr. Rick Pekala, Chief Technology Officer for ENTEK International, offered the following comments, "Innovation is a core value and centered in ENTEK's culture and passion for using material science expertise and technical capabilities to solve the industry's most complex challenges. ENTEK is developing technologies for the next generation of separator products to help our customers manage increasingly stringent regulatory and societal challenges for producing high performance energy storage products." The Terre Haute Economic Development Corporation has worked with ENTEK representatives regarding its new lithium-ion separator facility in the Vigo County Industrial Park II since October, 2022. We are looking forward to ENTEK's construction getting back to maximum speed in the very near future. The Rise of the AI Data Center According to the website Brittanica.com, "The earliest substantial work in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) was done in the mid 20th century by the British logician and computer pioneer Alan Mathison Turing. In 1935 Turing described an abstract computing machine consisting of a limitless memory and a scanner that moves back and forth through the memory, symbol by symbol, reading what it finds and writing further symbols. The actions of the scanner are dictated by a program of instructions that also is stored in the memory in the form of symbols. This is Turing's stored-program concept, and implicit in it is the possibility of the machine operating on, and so modifying or improving, its own program. Turing's conception is now known simply as the universal Turing machine. All modern computers are in essence universal Turing machines." Since the days of Alan Turning, artificial intelligence has both steadily and substantively moved forward. Fast forwarding to 2022, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot (note that a chatbot is a computer program that simulates and processes human conversation) developed by OpenAI, known as ChatGPT, burst on the scene. ChatGPT is credited with accelerating the AI boom, which has led to the rapid investment in and increased public knowledge of the field of artificial intelligence. To illustrate how rapidly the field of artificial intelligence is growing, several sources on the Internet indicate that by January 2023, ChatGPT had become one of the fastest-growing consumer software applications in history, gaining over 100 million users in two months. Furthermore, the release of ChatGPT has led to the release of a number of competing products, including Google's Gemini, Microsoft's Copilolt and xAI's Grok. (Note that xAI is Elon Musk's AI company.) As the use of artificial intelligence has made its way into the mainstream, an increased demand for AI data centers has arisen. Indiana has become something of a hotbed for AI data centers with Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Meta each announcing major data center investments in Indiana in the recent past with Amazon's announcement of an $11 billion investment (over the next ten years or so) in St. Joseph County being the largest. When reading about the criteria for data center selection (using the Indiana centers listed above as examples), one will read about tax incentives and a central geographic location as project drivers. While these two factors are certainly important, the top factor (that usually is not cited) is the near insatiable thirst for electric power that data centers require. A typical AI data center may require up to 1,000 megawatts of electric power roughly the equivalent of a good sized coal-fired power plant. Thus, it is imperative that data centers be within close proximity of significant electric power infrastructure. The demand for power to drive future data centers is such that the major data center players are discussing (and even) planning for their own dedicated sources of power for their data centers. In fact, Baltimore's Constellation Energy is in the process of bringing Unit 1 of the former Three Mile Island nuclear power station (Unit 1 was shut down in 2019) back on line by 2028 as part of a power purchase agreement with Microsoft to power future Microsoft data centers. Unsurprisingly, the Terre Haute Economic Development Corporation has fielded a number of data center project inquires in recent months. The inquires that we have received can be divided into two categories: the first being developers trying to secure a suitable site location, in hopes of wooing a data center client; the second being consultants who already have a data center client, thus the client is looking for a suitable data center location. The site criteria for today's data center (the investment in which can easily exceed $1 billion) are extremely strict. Generally speaking, the western side of Vigo County has existing power infrastructure required to accommodate a major data center. Of course, other factors go into such a project as well, so time will tell if Vigo County is ultimately selected for such a project. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Prepare and Advance Terre Haute (PATH) 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan The Terre Haute Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) serves the West Central Indiana Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) that includes the City of Terre Haute, the Towns of Seelyville, Riley and West Terre Haute as well as the urbanized and rural portions of Vigo County. Metropolitan Planning Area boundaries are typically adjusted after each decennial census based on the urbanized area boundaries drawn by the U.S. Census Bureau. In our FY 2022-2023 Annual Report, we discussed the process for updating the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan. The preparation and maintenance of a Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) is one of the core functions of any MPO. Metropolitan Planning Organizations are charged with the development of a long-range transportation plan for the metropolitan area covering a planning horizon of at least twenty years. The MTP is designed to foster (1.) mobility and access for people and goods; (2.) efficient system performance and (3.) a positive quality of life for the citizens of the MPA. Terre Haute MPO Transportation Planning Director Jeremy Weir further advises that, "The MTP is the long-range transportation plan that guides planning, construction, operation and maintenance of the integrated, multi-modal transportation network in the MPA. It sets the regional transportation vision and priorities through a variety of principles and strategies, providing a foundation for all of the tasks and projects delineated in the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The MTP is reviewed and updated at least every four years in air quality nonattainment and maintenance areas and every five years in attainment areas." Work on the 2050 MTP commenced in March, 2023 (hence the "Prepare and Advance Terre Haute (PATH)" phraseology/acronym used to describe the work product during the planning and drafting process. As with any significant public planning initiative, public participation is a vital part of the MTP process. The MPO followed a four-step, public participation planning process in regard to the PATH 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Step 1 identified needs and challenges via the gathering of general ideas and issues from the public and stakeholders. Step 2 involved the distribution of surveys to define transportation needs and vision as well as the continued solicitation of broader public input. Various proposals, coupled with their potential benefits and drawbacks, came into play during this part of the process. Step 3 involved the release and evaluation of a draft document, including maps and implementation strategies, following the evaluation and prioritization of the various options. It is important to note that the evaluation and prioritization of various options follows the ranking of proposals/ideas to ensure the proposals resolve identified transportation challenges. Step 4 of the public participation aspect culminated in the development of implementation strategies via the creation of a process summary and timeline, as well as the identification of responsible parties and potential funding sources. Without question, the public participation aspect drove the PATH 2050 MTP planning process. As one can imagine, the entire MTP process is quite complex. Due to the complexity involved, the MPO Policy Committee sought proposals from professional transportation planning and engineering firms. Miami, Florida-based The Corradino Group was selected to provide professional planning assistance in regard to the process. More specifically, Dr. Johnny Han, PhD, PE and Technical Vice President of The Corradino Group guided MPO staff, various stakeholders and the public throughout the process.
