(Spirit Lake)– The Spirit Lake city council Tuesday approved the submission of a grant application through the state’s Economic Development Set-a-Side program to assist in the planned 80,000 square foot expansion of the Polaris Industries plant. It calls for the city to provide a 7-year tax abatement valued at $900,000 based on the value of the expansion, along with a $40,000 cash contribution to match the state’s share.
Plant Manager Brian Hines tells KUOO news the expansion would house production of Indian motorcycles…(click here for comment from Hines.)
