The Iowa Department of Transportation on Tuesday approved the City of Grinnell's application for a Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE) Immediate Opportunity grant to assist Montezuma-based Brownells' creation of a new distribution facility.
Up to $1,355,306 will be made available to assist in the construction of approximately 2,700 feet of new roadway west of Iowa Highway 146 on the south side of Grinnell to provide access to the site of Brownells Inc.'s distribution facility for firearm accessories, gun parts, ammunition and gunsmith tools, as well as 134 acres for future light industrial purposes.
The project will support the creation of 162 new jobs at the facility and more than $10.2 million in associated capital investment.
