MONTGOMERY, Minn. - A Minnesota millwork firm is planning an $8 million expansion, but according to local reports, the expansion is contingent on state fund approval.
Minnesota Millwork & Fixtures told the Lonsdale City Council that it was "out-of-space" and is proposing an $8.3 million, three-phase project to build out facilities.
According to the Lonsdale News-Review, the first phase includes automating a paint line and adding a 1-million dust collector. In addition, a vacant building across the street is being purchased and renovated.
The second phase includes the construction of a 30,000-square-foot building next to the current Minnesota Millwork building. Finally, in phase three, the current and the 30,000-square-foot building are being connected, adding another 10,000 square feet.
As part of the funding, the paper reported that Minnesota Millwork is seeking a grant from the state through the Minnesota Investment Fund, which would add about $450,000 for the project, and have some benefits to the city.
Minnesota Millwork & Fixtures has been producing commercial cabinetry and architectural millwork since 1977. The company was formerly known as R & L Woodcraft.
