IEDA Board Approves Assistance to Rebuild and Expand Minden Facility

(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.
