The Iowa Women’s basketball team will play at Northern Iowa on November 20 and at Iowa State on December 7.  The Hawkeyes announced their non-conference schedule Thursday.  It includes five games against teams that reached the NCAA tournament last season.  Iowa will play in a tournament in the Bahamas in late November against St. John’s and either Temple or defending national champion Texas A & M.  The Hawkeyes host Virginia Tech on November 30 and play at Kansas State on December 3.  Iowa defeated both of those teams a year ago.  Iowa finished 22-9 last season, their best mark since 1995-96.

Harlan Company Gets Gov’t Grant

News

July 22nd, 2011 by admin

The Iowa Economic Development Board approved awards Thursday that will create up to 59 jobs in Iowa and retain another 227 jobs.

The board approved incentives for projects located in Harlan, Cedar Rapids, Ankeny and Oelwein.

The awards were given to businesses that the board says are important growth industries where Iowa is a leader, including technology, industrial biotechnology and food manufacturing.
The board awarded Enterprise Zone tax incentives to AMPC, Inc., doing business as Proliant Meat Ingredients, to expand its facility in Harlan. The company, which produces stocks and broths, plans to expand its existing building, improve wastewater-handling capabilities, and increase production capacity by adding new equipment.

The project represents a nearly $12.9 million total capital investment.
