The Des Moines Register is reporting Vermeer Manufacturing is seeking nearly $6 million in state incentives as the company rebuilds from last year’s tornado.

Vermeer’s Pella facilities were heavily damaged by a tornado last July. According to the newspaper, the Iowa Economic Development Board will consider awarding Vermeer nearly a million dollars in research activities tax credits, along with $4.8 million in sales and use tax breaks on purchases related to rebuilding and expanding Vermeer’s operation.

The Des Moines Register also reports a plant in Mason City that makes Jello pudding is being retooled to make more dessert products and state officials are likely to award the Kraft Heinz company tax breaks.
