"This is an exemplary representation of the

support economic growth in the state."
The board approved assistance for planned or proposed projects located in Peosta, Iowa Falls and Des Moines.
"The
combination of our strong agricultural, biosciences, manufacturing,
information technology and financial sectors has placed Iowa in a
better position than most states for economic growth," said Debi

"Companies receiving awards today have all announced expansions that
are a direct result of our diverse economy."
