The expansion, announced at the Gadsden City Council today, involved the City of Gadsden’s Economic Development team and Gadsden Industrial Development Authority.

Etowah County expects about $214,000 through sales and use tax during construction of the facility, and about $4 million in state, county and city education taxes over ten years. The City of Gadsden will receive $1 million over ten years.
