FORTVILLE — Town officials approved measures needed for a pool manufacturer’s plans to grow its operations.

Fortville Town Council unanimously approved ordinances on second and final readings Monday night annexing almost 80 acres Thursday Pools plans to grow onto and rezoning that land.

Thursday Pools, which makes fiberglass in-ground swimming pools at 840 Commerce Parkway, plans to expand its facility eastward by about 120,000 square feet and use additional ground for more outdoor storage.

The land was rezoned to a mix of light industrial to accommodate Thursday Pools’ operations as well as agricultural to accommodate a company executive’s potential plans to develop one to three custom homes and a horse stable.
