Kimball ammo maker gets grant
KIMBALL, Neb. (AP) ? A company that makes and sells small-caliber firearm ammunition has received a $315,000 Community Development Block Grant to assist with its startup in western Nebraska.
Gov. Dave Heineman awarded the grant Tuesday to High Point Manufacturing in Kimball.
High Point will manufacture, market and sell ammo and also plans to operate a factory retail store that sells ammunition.
The governor?s office said the company will create 23 full-time jobs.
High Point will locate in a building on the east side of Kimball.
The company will use the loan to make capital improvements and for inventory. The Community Development Block Grant funding will be matched by $250,000 in owner equity and $65,000 from Kimball?s Economic Development Fund.

We also need to go after manufacturers in blue states like Kimber which is in New York state....

Why would they want to leave NY for someplace else with high taxes? That is the issue Nebraska needs to address to enable economic growth. We have the highest income, property (3rd highest in the country!) & gas taxes & 2nd highest sales tax compared to our neighboring states.....
Sorry about the thread hijack- glad to see an ammo maker gearing up. Let's hope the competition starts to drive prices down......

Higher tax rate is a price we pay for a more sparsely populated state. NYC vs Lincoln. I will take Lincoln.
Glad to see more business moving to NE instead of leaving.

Couldn't disagree more. That is why I only compared Nebraska to our bordering states. Sure there are differences but many more similarities, what inherent advantages do Kansas & So Dakota have over the 'Good life' state? And doesn't sparser population equal fewer services too? Sorry does not compute. I'm glad to see new businesses starting & I'd rather live in Lincoln then NYC too- but that is more a knock against NY then vote for Lincoln.

I'm anxious to get out to Kimball and check it out... I love that part of the state... I've got some clients out there I haven't seen in a while I should drop in on while I'm there.
