Cotton gin project eyed for Stevens County progress
Northwest Cotton Growers partners plan a Stevens County gin aiming to gin 45 000 to 50 000 bales in a 90 day period. They seek a 10 year declining tax abatement and consider multiple sites between Hugoton and Moscow. The venture estimates 5 to 15 local workers plus a dedicated crew of 15 for pouring concrete and eight electricians. Cotton is favored due to lower water needs and sufficient heat units.
