The City of Sidney is pursuing a $1 million Community Development Block Grant to provide direct assistance to Lukjan Metal Products, LLC.
The Conneaut, Ohio, based company would use the funds for working capital, and the purchase of equipment and an existing building at 1 Greenwood Drive, formerly TE Connectivity.
“We’ve applied for it,” Herb Gibson, Lukjan midwest regional director, said. “I think we’ve given them all the information we need to have a successful application.”
The federal funds are directed to states to distribute to communities.
“It helps incentivize companies to come here and create more jobs,” Melissa Norgard, Sidney economic development director, said.
A hiring event for Lukjan Metal Products LLC is being held today from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 8-10 a.m. Thursday at Best Western Plus Sidney Lodge.
