People of Bloomington have been known as limestone “cutters” for more than 40 years.
The local, famed limestone mill has had a hand in building structures across the country — from the Empire State Building to buildings on IU’s campus.
Despite enduring $50 million in debt, bankruptcy and changes in ownership in the past year, the Indiana Limestone Company cuts on.
The company has started quarrying and fabricating the stone again.
The company was bought by Wynnchurch Capital at the beginning of May after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year.
As a result, many of the 166 workers who were laid off have been rehired.
However, official employee numbers are not known at this time, according to a Herald Times article.
