Expansion is in the works for Five Star Plastics as they land swap and create 22 new jobs. The Eau Claire City Council approved the swap of land in the Sky Park that will lead to a 25,000 square foot addition to current facilities, located at 1339 Continental Drive in Eau Claire. This approval will create jobs in Eau Claire instead of Kansas, as Five Star Plastics was looking to purchase a building there to expand.

In order to expand locally, Five Star Plastics wanted to trade land that it already owned for the same amount of land owned by the City of Eau Claire. This facilitated the expansion project and allows them to not only keep jobs in Eau Claire but also expand their current operations here.
