The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration has announced a grant of $675,000 to Enhancing and Strengthening North Dakota Nonprofits and Communities in Minot, N.D. The funds will be used to build a regional processing facility for local foods in Baldwin, N.D., which will include classrooms, kitchen facilities, warehouse space, and more.

The grant is projected to create 47 jobs and generate $1.8 million in private investment, according to estimates from the grantee.

“North Dakota excels at value-added agriculture,” said U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND). “Investments like this drive innovation, boost economic development in our communities, and help families put food on the table. North Dakota stands to gain for many years to come as a result of the construction and use of this facility.”
