Pioneer Hi-Bred to build new distribution center in Northern Iowa

Date:04-18-2012

Pioneer Hi-Bred International officially announced plans to bring a 200,000-square-foot distribution center to Spencer's Green Industrial Park and Spencer City Council approved the plans Monday evening.

"Construction will start here in the month of April and target completion is October of 2012," said Tim Elam, development manager for Scannell Properties, the developer for the project. He added that the facility could be expanded by 120,000 square feet in the future.

The city has agreed to a 10-year tax-abatement agreement and will also fund routing utilities to the 23-acre site, at a cost of about $900,000.
