German firm seeks Cedar Rapids CEBA grants for factory
Profol Kunststoffe Gmbh, based in Halsing Germany, seeks a $75,000 CEBA forgivable loan and a $100,000 Rail Economic Development grant to build a 25,000 square foot plastic foil plant on a 15 acre site off C Street SW near Genencor International. The Cedar Rapids project is expected to create 27 jobs at about $35,000 annually and open in September if funding is approved. The Rail grant arose after suppliers said rail shipment would replace trucking for much of the raw material.
