North Liberty Today

Major employers — the named set, at reached strength

Ranked by the weight the record gives them; no headcount printed where none was reached

1. The aluminum plant — the anchor manufacturer, and its operator is now settled. The 2015 Comprehensive Plan names "Sapa North Liberty," in the North Liberty Industrial Park (southwest quadrant, S. Main St. / Industrial Parkway), as the town's anchor manufacturer. Today the plant's operator is reached, and it is not Sapa: Hydro's own news page (16 March 2026) names "Hydro's North Liberty facility," and current hiring carriers print the employer as Hydro Extrusion USA, LLC, North Liberty, with live 2025–2026 postings. Disposition against gap G-SP-5: the current corporate name is ANSWERED at current-carrier strength — Hydro Extrusion USA, LLC — and the Plan's "Sapa" is thereby shown to be the predecessor name, not a rival claimant. The formal name-chain and any local headcount were not reached; both stand as the residual gap G-TD-1. No employment figure is asserted. 2. The schools: North Liberty Elementary School (400 School Drive; K–6; 474 students in the 2024 study, 31 teachers per the same profile carrier) is the town's second institutional employer; the John Glenn School Corporation's headquarters is in Walkerton — the corporation is a boundary employer, the elementary school the in-town seat. 3. The Town itself — Town Hall, utilities, streets, park, and the fire territory's operating department seated in town; no staff count reached. 4. Potato Creek State Park — a township employer, boundary stated: the park lies in Liberty Township about three miles east of the town, NOT in the town; Indiana DNR employment there is township employment, printed at boundary size only. At line size: the 1st Source Bank branch at 109 N. Main St.; North Liberty Christian School (K–6 since August 1997; 54 students 2026–27); the town's churches and Main Street businesses at the Commercial District's size. No other employer is named by the 2015 Plan or by any current carrier reached — and the context matters: residents' industry shares show a manufacturing-and-logistics workforce that largely commutes (mean 26.3 minutes). The town's employment in town is anchored by the plant and the school; the record does not support a fuller ranked table, and none is manufactured.
