Iowa Projects to Create 1,000 Jobs

Economic development officials have approved state incentives for 14 businesses with a promise that nearly 1,000 jobs will be created and hundreds more will be retained.

The recipients include companies that plan to locate in Iowa and other companies already in the state, including Rockwell Collins  Inc., Monsanto  and Wellmark.

"These 1,300 jobs, and the economic impact they could create, will help secure our future and create new opportunities that will keep your kids and my kids in Iowa, where they belong," Gov. Chet Culver said in a statement. "To move our economy forward, my administration will continue to aggressively recruit high-quality companies and careers to the state."
