SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A state agency says a Texas company plans to build a rail car maintenance and repair facility in Sioux City that would create 250 jobs. The Sioux City Journal reports Dallas-based TrinityRail Maintenance Services has requested $1.9 million in tax incentives for the proposed $29.5 million project. Plans call for a 150,000 square-foot complex.
The Iowa Economic Development Authority will consider the request at a meeting Friday in Des Moines. To qualify for the incentives, the facility would need to pay workers at least $16.36 per hour.
