AEDC reviews Rainbow Metal Plating after delays in Amarillo
AEDC has ordered an independent review of Rainbow Metal Plating's business practices amid months of operations delays. The city backed grant funds of 450000 in 1999 to relocate and upgrade the plant at Amarillo International Airport, but revised production timelines and accounting questions prompted the review and delayed payroll and client payments. Rainbow has received about 300000 of the grant with remaining funds tied to upgrades, as management seeks stability and full production return.
