Demolition Grant - EDA

While it may not be in the South, we thought it important enough to note that EDA has a grant program for demolition.  Here's the story.

Sioux City, Iowa, Receives Grant To Demolish Old Meatpacking Plant.

The AP (4/16) reports Sioux City will receive a $2 million federal grant, as "the city's application for an Economic Development Administration grant was approved." The money will be used to demolish the "John Morrell & Co. pork processing plant is being torn down as part a plan to redevelop the area into a business park." Also of note is that "Global Foods Processing Inc. is expanding its operation in Sioux City with a new plant on the former Morrell site. Global Foods will be the first tenant in the new business park," bringing 200 new jobs to the area.
