(Des Moines) Today, the Iowa Economic Development Authority Board approved awards for two companies, which will assist in the creation of eight jobs and result in $28.5 million in new capital investment for the state.
One of those projects is located in Minden. C&A Scales Service, Inc. manufactures and installs bulk weigh grain loadout systems and also sells and installs truck scales, truck automation and truck probe sampling systems. After a tornado destroyed the manufacturing facility in Minden earlier this year, the company plans to rebuild as well as incorporate previous expansion plans.
The project represents a $2.5 million capital investment and is expected to create four jobs at a qualifying wage of $25.36 per hour. The board awarded the project tax benefits through the High Quality Jobs program.
