From the meeting
MDARD staff recommended a $450,000 Food and Agriculture Investment Fund performance grant for Star of the West Milling Company's new dry corn mill in Quincy. The $79 million project includes demolition, a seven-story slipform mill, warehouse/packaging space, a feed loadout structure, and office and employee relief buildings. Construction was expected to start in Q3 2026 and the facility to be fully operational by Q3 2029.
This is a grant-backed industrial build tied to a future mill equipment and automation package.
