In the most recent edition of the Marshall County Economic Development Corporation Perspective newsletter, construction will begin soon on a manufacturing center in Argos.
According to officials, the Argos Manufacturing Center will be a customizable spec building in the town’s newly certified shovel-ready industrial park. Construction plans went before the Technical Review Committee on Sept. 13 and now a groundbreaking will be scheduled some time this month.
The MCEDC newsletter points out that communities without these types of buildings or a facility ready for industry can often be overlooked when it comes to economic development. This manufacturing center will be a way to focus efforts on improving Argos’ economy.
Regional Cities Initiative funds were recently awarded to the Town of Argos in the amount of $400,000. This particular project is one of three projects in the county that aim to improve population growth and quality of place enhancement.
