Today, the Iowa Transportation Commission approved a Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE) Immediate Opportunity grant application submitted by Sioux City. Up to $1,640,500 will be made available to assist in the reconstruction of approximately 3,000 feet of Zenith Drive located in the Tri-View Business Park. This project is anticipated to be completed by November 2015.

This improvement will provide improved access to the Bomgaars Supply warehouse/distribution and office facility located on Zenith Drive. The grant will support the recently announced $18 million expansion project including the creation of 15 new jobs and the retention of 178 jobs, along with $18,250,000 in associated capital investment.
