Facility One I INAAP promotional letter from James G. Burgin c1995, Charlestown, Indiana

Description:	This is a promotional letter about Facility One I INAAP in Charlestown, Indiana from 1995. Facility One was the former Indiana Army Ammunition Plant. The facility was being leased to commercial businesses.The United States federal government began acquiring land in Charlestown, Indiana in 1940 to build a smokeless powder ordnance plant to supply the US military during World War II. Indiana Ordnance Works (IOW) Plant 1 and Hoosier Ordnance Plant (HOP) began production in 1941. In 1944, IOW Plant 2 construction began. On 30 Nov 1945 at the end of WWII, the three plants were combined and renamed Indiana Arsenal. Between 1 Nov 1961 and 1 Aug 1963, the plant was designated Indiana Ordnance Plant. After this time, it became Indiana Army Ammunition Plant (INAAP). Production of ordnance continued at the plant until 1992. After that time, the land and facilities were leased to private industry. A large portion of the land became Charlestown State Park. In October 2016, all the land and facilities were officially sold by the government. This item is part of a larger collection of items from INAAP that are kept at Charlestown Library. 11452 Highway 62Charlestown, IN47111-9668FACILITY ONE I INAAPTele. 812/284-7600800/767-4201FAX/812-282-7888Welcome to Facility One.Facility One is one of the most modern, well equipped industrial sites in the country.
