Work has begun on a $50,000 brick addition to the Moline Plow Company's north side on Third avenue. The project includes tearing out the rail track, extending the structure to match the tower, and laying a foundation for a future 71foot wide building on the old paper mill site. The expansion will increase floor space and likely add jobs, with contracts awarded for masonry and carpentry.
