Schuff Steel hoping to build a Bismarck plant this year to manufacture wind turbine towers has chosen the Northern Plains Commerce Centre as the site.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A company hoping to build a Bismarck plant this year to manufacture wind turbine towers has chosen the Northern Plains Commerce Centre as the site.
Schuff Steel Co. of Phoenix has qualified for $7.1 million in federal tax credits for the project.
Executive Vice President Dennis Randall says the company chose a site at the Commerce Centre because of its rail link. He declined to provide lease terms.
The company's plans are for a 70-acre site. Randall says the company is lining up financing for the project and customers for its products.
The 243-acre industrial park was completed in 2008. Its sole occupant has been Bobcat Co., which closed its manufacturing plant in Bismarck in December but still uses the NPCC for shipping to and from its other plants in the region.
