Caterpillar to Locate North American Motor Grader Production Facility in North Little Rock DATE: 2009-01-07 SOURCE: Becki Schultz - Communications Associate Excerpts by Mark Hengel and Lance Turner - 1/5/2009 3:53:01 PM – ArkansasBusiness.com [Arkansas] Gov. Mike Beebe announced Monday [January 5, 2009] that Caterpillar Inc. of Peoria, Ill., will put a new motor grader production facility at the former Deluxe Video Service Inc. site in North Little Rock, bringing with it 600 jobs. The company said it will invest $140 million in the new plant. Production of commercial motor graders is expected to begin in early 2010. Renovation will begin immediately, and management offices are already operational. The state of Arkansas gave Caterpillar $3 million from its Quick Action Closing Fund as incentive for the plant. North Little Rock is providing a package worth more than $13 million, Mayor Patrick Hays said, though the city council must first pass the package. The city's incentives are largely for infrastructure, including an $8 million new power substation, an $800,000 wastewater treatment facility and the waiver of building permits worth more than $30,000. Hays emphasized that the city planned to build the power substation in 2010, but has moved plans forward to accommodate the manufacturer. The city is also providing carbon offsets worth $2.5 million, Hays said. The city receives the offsets because of its use of hydroelectric power, he said. The company will also pay reduced electrical bills over the next five years. The electricity deal is worth more than $2 million. Company officials said that a full line of motor graders, with the exception of its 24M motor grader, will be made at the North Little Rock facility. The graders are used to build and maintain roads, highways, airports and other construction projects. Caterpillar has produced graders since 1931. A Fortune 500 firm, Caterpillar makes construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines and industrial gas turbines. |
