Louisville, Colorado-based recycling company AMP Robotics Corp. plans to establish an operation in an existing facility at 9501 80th Ave. in Pleasant Prairie.
The company plans to use the site, located in the LakeView Corporate Park, for a secondary sortation facility to process recyclable materials from a primary material recovery facility, including paper, plastics, and metals. The facility is expected to be operational this fall and will have 25 employees.
