We have more information on what's being called an exciting economic announcement for Vanderburgh County.

A source has confirmed that Thursday's ground breaking is for PGP International owned by Associated British Foods.

The ceremony is Thursday afternoon at the Vanderburgh Industrial Park.

There's no word yet on how many jobs will be created in the county. The company has more than 100,000 employees in 46 countries and this would be PGP's sixth US operation.
