RENSSELAER — MacAllister Machinery’s Agriculture Division held a ground breaking ceremony today in Rensselaer to celebrate the start of construction on their new agriculture machinery sales & service facility. The company is investing $1.4 million to construct a 12,000 square foot building on 12 acres adjacent to the Jasper County Airport on the State Route 114 corridor east of I-65. The project will provide MacAllister’s customers with local support of their AGCO, Claas, and Caterpillar equipment. Rensselaer based Titan Construction & Engineering is building the facility. It is expected to open in January, will initially employ 6 people, and will replace a much smaller location the company has been operating in Rensselaer since 2011.
