Governor Reynolds, IEDA Announce $2 Million in Manufacturing 4.0 Funding

News

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES – Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) have announced that Iowa will be investing an additional $2 million in the Manufacturing 4.0 Technology Investment Program to enhance productivity, efficiency and competitiveness in Iowa’s largest industry. The program helps small- to mid-size Iowa manufacturers invest in the adoption and integration of smart technologies with grant funding made available through the federal American Rescue Plan Act.

Reynolds said Wednesday (Today), “The Manufacturing 4.0 grant program is doing exactly what we intended – helping businesses grow and compete amid a rapidly changing landscape. Manufacturers are using these grants to increase productivity, train workers, improve safety, and cut costs. We now have the opportunity to help more manufacturers invest in technology to support their workforce, promote competition, and ensure future growth.”

Iowa’s Manufacturing 4.0 initiative launched a strategic plan in January 2021 to ensure the state’s manufacturers continue to remain globally competitive through the fourth industrial revolution – Industry 4.0 – and its emphasis on automation and smart technology. As a result, the Manufacturing 4.0 Technology Investment Grant program was created. In the first cycle, IEDA granted over $7 million through 202 awards with project investments totaling over $31 million.

The program offers two grant opportunities to prioritize both the equipment and connectivity with the advanced technology for manufacturers with 3-150 employees.

  • The manufacturing innovation equipment grant awards up to $50,000 for the purchase of machinery and specialized equipment to improve operations.
  • The manufacturing industrial internet of things (IIoT) infrastructure investment grant awards up to $25,000 for the purchase of specialized hardware of software in Industry 4.0 technology groups.

Companies can apply for a combined amount of $75,000 between the two grants over the lifetime of the business and a 1:1 match is required. Prior to applying, manufacturers must complete an Industry 4.0 assessment provided by Iowa State University’s Center for Industrial Research and Service (CIRAS) to determine need and readiness.

Applications will open on March 1, 2023, and will be accepted on a rolling basis until funds are allocated. More information on the program can be found here.

State wrestling tournament in Iowa features new format

Sports

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

The state wrestling tournament is underway in Des Moines and the new format has been well received. The dual tournament was moved to early February at Xtream Arena in Coralville. Since 2012 it had been held the day before the start of the traditional tournament in Wells Fargo Arena. Lewie Curtis is the wrestling administrator for the Iowa High School Athletic Association.

In previous years many coaches were reluctant to expose their top wrestlers to injury prior a day before the individual tournament.

This year’s traditional tournament features an expanded bracket of 24 competitors in each weight class. That means an additional 336 wrestlers will compete this week.

One thing that has not changed is ticket demand for Saturday night’s championship session. It remains one of the toughest tickets to get in the state.

Lawmakers work to merge anti-drug plans from governor and attorney general

News

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – A few legislators are working to merge proposals from Iowa’s governor and attorney general to boost sentences for fentanyl related crimes AND make an overdose reversal medication more widely available. Dale Woolery, director of the Governor’s Office on Drug Control Policy, says officials estimate about nine out of 10 opioid overdoses in Iowa in 201 were due to fentanyl. “We think it’s important to strengthen deterrence where we can on the drug trafficking and also make lifesaving tools more available to Iowans,” Woolery says.

Molly Severn, an aide to the governor, says Iowa’s crime lab processed 96-thousand pills containing fentanyl last year. “Counterfeit pills are relatively easy to make, market and distribute,” Severn says. “They can be purchased person to person, online and even social media, making them too easily available to anyone with a smart phone, including young Iowans.”

Attorney General Brenna Bird has proposed a bill that would boost sentences for selling or providing ANY illegal drug that causes a death. The legislation Governor Reynolds is proposing is targeted to fentanyl. A House subcommittee advanced a bill that contains the governor’s plans this (Wednesday) morning after a public hearing. Talia Sopp, a University of Iowa medical student, told lawmakers she previously worked at an addiction treatment center for teenagers and has helped distribute Naloxone. “It’s an absolute tragedy that even one person dies of an opioid overdose when we have this medication to reverse it,” she said. “Naxlone is much like a fire extinguisher. Everyone should have it. Hopefully you never need to use it, but you never want to be in a situation where you need it and you don’t have it.”

Sopp says drug kingpins know drugs are laced with fenanyl, but low level distributors and users don’t know the illegal drugs they’re handling are contaminated with fentanyl.  “I have yet to meet someone who says their drug of choice is fentanyl,” Sopp said. “…Therefore I think it’s unfair to penalize someone for sharing fentanyl with a friend when they don’t know that fentanyl was in the drugs.”

Sopp is urging legislators to table the idea of enhanced penalties for fentanyl related crimes.

Adair County BOS news

News

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday morning, approved Township Clerk wages, acknowledged Homestead and Military Disallowances, with letters being sent those affected persons, and a payment from ARPA funds for the Fire Alarms from Johnson Controls. The Board tabled action on an appointment to the Southern Iowa Regional Housing Authority, because there are no candidates who have expressed interest at this time. The Board also tabled action for at least a couple of months, on a RenoDry Dehydration System for the Courthouse. The County was quoted on a rate for the service of $15,370 back in September.

The Adair County Supervisors heard a request from Lucas Queck, Secretary for the County Veteran’s Affairs Commission.

The Board approved his five-percent request on the line item from the new county budget. The Board discussed a Pipeline Ordinance, but took no action because there is still too much that’s unknown, whereas attorneys and the legislature is concerned. Board Member Jodie Hoadley shared her thoughts.

She said “It’s just something we need to look at and educate ourselves on.” Supervisor Matt Wedemeyer said ultimately it’s up to the public and land owners to determine what the County’s role will be.

And, the Adair County Supervisors received a report from County Engineer Nick Kauffman. Board Chair Jerry Walker was authorized by the Board to sign the front (Title) page for Culvert and Culvert Extension Projects on N-25 Grand River and W15 Eureka, respectively.

Payment for the Grand River project will be derived from the LOST funds. The Eurkea Culvert Extension would costs the County about $12,600, assuming it receives Hungry Canyon’s funding toward the remaining total of $58,000. Kauffman will submit the request to Hungry Canyons for approval.

February 15th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund has added signage to the new Trojan Bowl with the help of JJ Design. According to fund spokesperson (Trevor’s mom) Melanie Petty, they “Notice this past fall that the press box looked a little to plain so with permission from the Atlantic Schools we worked with JJ Design and came up with a design that shows you are in Trojan Country when you come to a football game!”

Melanie said “Trev played football all through junior/senior high so it was a good fit for the fund.  Although spring hasn’t even gotten here we’re already looking forward to watching games this fall.” The monies raised through the annual TFred Memorial Golf Tournament are given back to the community that Trevor loved.
