Metro area again tops business list TY RUSHING
Business Journal staff writer
SIOUX CITY | For the second straight year, metro Sioux City tops Site Selection magazine’s list of small metro areas with the most new or expanded business projects. It’s the sixth time since 2007 the national trade publication has crowned Siouxland No. 1 in its category for Metropolitan Statistical Area with populations under 200,000. The metro area has now topped the list four of the last five years, with the streak interrupted only by a runner-up finish in 2014. Metro Sioux City had 26 qualifying projects in 2016, defined by Site Selection as an investment of at least $1 million, an addition of at least 20,000 square feet or creation of at least 20 new jobs. The publication does not track retail and

government projects, or schools and hospitals. Bowling Green, Kentucky was a distant runner-up with 15 projects in the category. The 2016 list, released Wednesday, is featured in the publication’s March issue — the largest print edition in the magazine’s 63 year history — and on its website, siteselection.com The Siouxland Chamber of Commerce and Siouxland Initiative celebrated the milestone Wednesday with a news conference featuring economic development leaders and elected officials from Dakota Dunes, Le Mars, North Sioux
City, Sergeant Bluff, Sioux City, South Sioux City and Woodbury County. “I feel like I’m among old friends because you keep doing so well,” Site Selection managing editor Adam Bruns said at the new conference. Bruns went on to present a plaque to leaders from the Siouxland Initiative that highlighted the metro area’s latest honor. Bruns complemented the city on its continued success in economic development and pointed out that a recent report from U.S. News & World Report ranked Iowa as the nation’s 6th best state and Nebraska as 13th, which meshed with the data his publication has compiled. “Companies are looking for a place to grow or expand and they like what they see in Siouxland,” Bruns said.

$21M Courtyard by Marriott planned next to Convention Center IAN RICHARDSON
Business Journal staff writer
SIOUX CITY | City officials say they expect the addition of a proposed $21 million Courtyard by Marriott downtown will reinvigorate interest in the city’s Convention Center, which has seen a recent decrease in event and conference bookings. City Events Facilities Director Erika Newton said the city has had trouble landing some large conferences in recent years partly because of the lack of a quality hotel connected to the venue. “Some of the conference and meeting planners that we would like to return to Sioux City have not even allowed for us to bid on a conference because they hadn’t felt like the hotel had previously worked for them,” Newton said.

Menken leaves for post in Spearfish Hotel: Council advances plans TY RUSHING
Business Journal staff writer
SIOUX CITY — Kory Menken has left his role with the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce and The Siouxland Initiative to become the executive director of the Spearfish Economic Development Corporation in South Dakota. Menken Menken s e r ve d a s the director of workforce solutions for The Siouxland Initiative and the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce for about 18 months. In this capacity, Menken was responsible for the development and ongoing implementation of a comprehensive workforce development strategy for the Siouxland metropolitan area. He was the first person to hold the position, which was established by the organizations to more fully address a growing shortage of skilled workers in the region. Prior to that, Menken spent 12 years as the economic

development director in North Sioux City. Menken has close ties to western South Dakota, specifically to Spearfish, where he graduated from Black Hills State University in 1990. In a release, John Senden, president of the SEDC Board of Directors, said “he’s very pleased” with the hire and laid out what he thinks Menken brings to the table. “Kory has strong experience in economic and workforce development in South Dakota, and he is vastly familiar with the Black Hills
and Spearfish,” Senden said. “We are confident he will exceed SEDC’s goals and increase business growth, retention and expansion, building a diverse economic community.” In the same release, Menken commented on how excited he is for his new role. “Spearfish is a community with a vibrant past and a very bright future. I look forward to partnering with our private and public stakeholders in reaching our shared goals of economic prosperity and sustainable community growth.”

The hotel will be financed and constructed by Kinseth Hospitality, a North Liberty, Iowa-based company that owns more than 65 hotels in 13 different states. The company owns seven hotels in Des Moines, three in Omaha and several more throughout Iowa. “Sioux City is kind of a hole for us,” Bruce Kinseth, executive vice president of Kinseth Hospitality, said. “We used to run a Hilton Garden Inn there some time ago, and so we had some familiarity and really connected well with city officials.” City economic development director Marty Dougherty said the new hotel should bring an economic boost to Sioux City’s other downtown hotels and businesses. An estimate by the consulting company Hunden Strategic Partners expects it to generate $219 million in new spending and $69 million in net new earnings in its first 20 years.
“My own view, and I think the view of our consultant, was that all the hotels in the downtown area will benefit by having more events and activities,” Dougherty said. “Having this allows us to bring more business into downtown near the convention center.” The hotel is among three key projects in the city’s application for $14 million in future hotel and sales taxes through the Iowa Economic Development Authority’s Reinvestment District program. The other two projects include Ho-Chunk Inc.’s Virginia Square and an ag expo and learning center in the city’s former stockyards area. Dougherty said the city has received “provisional approval” for the funding but is still preparing to request final approval, which he hopes will be this spring.
Ag center organizers are continuing to work on raising $5 million in private fundraising while the city continues looking into the addition or renovation of another hotel to accompany the ag center. Dougherty said receiving the state funding will be “critical” to the Convention Center hotel and ramp project, but he said the city is comfortable enough that it will receive the funds to move forward. On March 13, the City Council gave first round approval to the hotel plans. Since the project is in an urban renewal area, the city must advertise the property for at least 30 days. Final council consideration of the sale is set for April 17. Development and minimum assessment agreements will also come before the council at that date.

Metro: Publication counts 26 local projects FROM PAGE 5 The record $2 billion expansion at CF Industries Port Neal site was completed in 2016, and construction continued on several other large industrial projects, including the $300 million Seaboard Triumph Foods plant in Sioux City. In addition to those two mega projects, Bruns said Site Magazine tracked down 26 total projects in the metro that contributed to the No. 1 ranking. “The projects per capita number is off the charts compared to numbers two, three four and five,” Bruns
said referring to the top five ranked cities in Sioux City’s category. Chris McGowan, president of the Siouxland Chamber and Initiative, credited the strong collaboration between the tristate communities for the region’s continued success. “The Siouxland Initiative is very pleased to take a role in helping bring our tri-state together to drive and to help support economic development, but the Siouxland Initiative is one part of a very strong team, one link in a very important chain that includes economic development
professionals and elected officials in all our tri-state communities,” he said. Site Selection also announced Nebraska has won the Governor’s Cup for the state with the qualifying new and expanded facilities per capita. The Cornhusker state had 101 projects for the year. Iowa finished fifth with 93 projects. Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts said he wants to make Nebraska a low-cost state in which to do business. “My goal,” Ricketts said in the Site Selection news release, “is to do tax relief every year I’m governor.”
Omaha-Council Bluffs topped the 2016 list of metro areas with populations between 200,000 and 1 million. Texas won the Governor’s Cup for having the most qualified projects of any state. Sioux City metro had previously taken top honors from Site Selection in 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013 and 2015. Site Selection, based in Atlanta, has more than 48,000 subscribers who include professionals who help corporations find the right place to locate and expand.

Cross out pain in lower Avoid over-the-counter back, sciatica, hip, knee medication overdosing W Home H & Office ow many of you spend most of your day crossing your legs, sitting on your feet or sitting with one leg crossed? Men, do you stand with one or both of your feet toed out when standing? A very common standing posture for men is to stand with both feet pointed to the outside. As we become overweight, this toe out posture habit becomes even more common in both men and women. Ladies also tend to stand with one foot pointed forward and the other foot pointed 90 degrees to the side with a hip shift. Over time, these are some of the most common awkward sitting and standing posture habits that may lead to increased musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) stiffness and pain risks for the lower back, sciatica, hip, or knee. Why is this and how does this occur? What can I do daily at work and at home to reduce my MSD risks of having lower back, sciatica, hip, or knee pain? This month’s article is all about becoming more aware of the primary postures we use daily and how to reduce the risks of pain and injury while improving your quality of life. The more time you spend sitting with your legs crossed, sitting on your feet, or standing with your toes pointed out, the more you tighten your hips’ powerful external rotator muscles, such as your piriformis. This piriformis muscle becomes shortened or tighter the longer you sit with your legs crossed, spread apart or stand in toe out postures. These awkward postures externally rotate the hip and compress the large sciatic nerve that runs directly beneath this piriformis muscle. Nerves don’t like compression forces but they love freedom and

flowing movement of the body and a good blood flow to stay healthy and avoid irritation. As this sciatic nerve gets compressed by your tight piriformis muscle may lead to numbness and tingling down the back of your leg. This significantly increases the biomechanical risks for lower back pain, sciatica, hip, and knee pain or MSD injuries such as a sprain or strain overtime. The tighter your piriformis muscle and hip external rotators become, the more your hips may lack proper hip internal rotation with everyday movements. This lack of proper hip internal rotation is one of the most common biomechanical problems leading to increased risks of lower back muscle strains and ligament or joint sprains, lower back pain, hip, knee, and shoulder sprain or strains. This hip internal rotation is needed every time we go from sitting to standing, squat down to pick something up, lunge in any direction or go up and down stairs throughout the workday. When we lack this proper loading of the hip with hip internal rotation, our lower back, knees, hips, and even our shoulders take the added biomechanical stress. How can we reduce our risks of sciatica or lower back, hip, knee, and shoulder pain or stiffness as we age? When sitting, it is best to keep both of your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest if needed and to keep both of your hips slightly spread apart, ideally with your hips
being slightly higher than your knees. You may extend one leg or the other, shift your body weight from left to right side, and even occasionally cross your legs for a short period of time. Perform the “Sitting Piriformis Dynamic Stretch” one to three times per day with a three to five second hold for one to two repetitions. This WorkSmart stretch will reverse and help counteract these awkward sitting and standing posture habits, reducing sciatic nerve compression and greatly reducing the risks for pain and stiffness. This stretch is performed by sitting up tall and crossing your right leg over your left knee, to stretch the right side. Turn your body to the right and gently pull your right knee up towards your left shoulder (opposite side) and hold for three to five seconds, and repeat one to two times. Then repeat other side. When you are sitting, try to sit with both feet flat on the floor or on a footrest, sitting up tall with your back against the back support of your chair, with knees slightly apart. When standing, try to spend more time in a staggered stance posture with one foot in front of the other, feet slightly wider than shoulder width and with your feet slightly toed out which improves your balance and reduces risk of injury. Here’s to slowing the aging process of your body and the improved daily energy and vitality of your lower back, hips, knees, and shoulders.

e have all experienced standing in the isle at the store staring at the overthe-counter medications. There are so many varieties. Which one to choose can be a challenge, but staying safe is the most important part of your decision? According to the FDA, “For a medicine to work for you—and not against you—you’ve got to take the right dose.” You can avoid giving too much or too little of an over-the-counter medicine. Here are 10 tips from the FDA: ■ Always follow the directions on the Drug Facts label of your medicine. Read the label every time before you give the medicine. ■ Know the “active ingredient” in the medicine. This is what makes the medicine work and it is always listed at the top of the Drug Facts label. Many medicines used to treat different symptoms have the same active ingredient. So if you’re treating a cold and a headache with two different medicines but both have the same active ingredient, you could be giving two times the normal dose. If you’re confused, check with your doctor or pharmacist. ■ Give the right medicine in the right amount. Medicines with the same brand name can be sold in different strengths, such as infant, children, and adult formulas. The dose and directions also vary for children of different ages or weights. Always use the right strength and follow the directions exactly. Never use more medicine than directed unless your doctor tells you to do so. ■ Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse to find out what mixes well and what doesn’t. Medicines, vitamins, supplements, foods, and beverages aren’t always compatible. ■ Use the dosage delivery device that comes with the medicine, such as a dropper or a dosing cup. A different device, or a kitchen spoon, could hold the wrong amount of medicine. And never drink liquid medicine from the bottle. ■ Know the difference between a tablespoon (tbsp) and a teaspoon (tsp). A tablespoon holds 3 times as much medicine as a teaspoon. On
DEB TWYFORD
measuring tools, a teaspoon (tsp) is equal to “5mL.” ■ Know your child’s weight. Dosage amounts for some medicines are based on weight. Never guess how much to give your child or try to figure it out from the adult dose instructions. If a dose is not listed for your child’s weight, call your doctor’s office ■ Prevent a poison emergency by always using a child-resistant cap. Relock the cap after each use. Be especially careful with any medicines that contain iron. They are the leading cause of poisoning deaths in young children. ■ Store all medicines in a safe place. Some are tasty, colorful, and many can be chewed. Kids may think they’re candy. Store all medicines and vitamins out of your child’s (and your pet’s) sight and reach. ■ Check the medicine 3 times before using. For any medicine, it is always good practice to, first, check the outside packaging for such things as cuts, slices, or tears. Second, once you’re at home, check the label on the inside package to be sure you have the right medicine and that the lid and seal are not broken. Third, check the color, shape, size, and smell. If you notice anything unusual, talk to a pharmacist or other health care professional before using. Parents and caregivers must do their part to avoid giving children, too much or too little of an over-thecounter medication.

AGP nears end of second expansion $90M vegetable oil refinery built at Port Neal NICK HYTREK
Business Journal staff writer
SERGEANT BLUFF | Two expansion projects at Ag Processing Inc. will enable the company’s Port Neal plant to make production of biodiesel more efficient and also increase the production capacity. Construction of a $90 million vegetable oil refinery is nearly complete, and initial operations have begun. With the refinery’s completion, AGP will now have the ability to refine soybean oil at the site,
bringing a fully integrated platform in place to crush soybeans, refine the oil and turn it into biodiesel all at one location. “We have started operation of some of the equipment in the refinery, and we are definitely on schedule,” said Wayne Johnson, regional marketing manager at the Port Neal facility, located near Sergeant Bluff. While finishing touches are made on the refinery, a $38 million expansion of the biodiesel plant is ongoing and should be finished by midsummer and begin production shortly after that. The plant currently produces up to 30 million gallons of the soy-based fuel per year, and the expansion is expected to double production
Submitted
Ag Proccessing Inc.’s biodiesel plan at Port Neal was built in 1996 and was the nation’s first commercial-scale biodiesel facility. An expansion expected to be finished this summer will double the plant’s production capacity from 30 million gallons to 60 million gallons annually.
to 60 million gallons annually. “Anytime that you’re with a company that there is growth and expansion,
that’s pretty exciting,” Johnson said. It’s the fourth expansion of the Port Neal biodiesel plant, which was the
nation’s first commercialscale biodiesel plant when it opened in 1996. The expansions are expected to create more than 20 jobs, Johnson said. Omaha-based AGP, the world’s largest farmerowned soybean processor, also operates a bean crushing facility at the Port Neal site. That facility was built by Farmland Industries in 1974 and purchased by AGP in 1983. Johnson said the refinery will cut freight costs, because all soybean crushing, processing and production will be done at one site rather than having refined oil shipped in from somewhere else. Johnson said much of the oil that is refined at Port
Neal will stay on site to be used for biodiesel production. The soy oil also will be sold to food markets. Soy meal from the crushed soybeans is sold into the local animal feed market. Demand for biodiesel remains strong, Johnson said, and he expects demand to continue to grow. “Certainly we’ve seen positive growth in biodiesel across the U.S.,” he said. A sure sign of that expected growth will take place this spring, when AGP will break ground on a new soybean processing plant in Aberdeen, South Dakota. When completed in 2019, the plant will send some of the soy oil processed there to the Port Neal plant to be refined.

Hot demand for cold storage Cloverleaf expands locally, across the U.S. NICK HYTREK
Business Journal staff writer
SIOUX CITY | Cloverleaf Cold Storage’s $18 million expansion of its Sioux City warehouse facility is the latest in a series of additions the company has completed across the United States. Be g u n l a s t s u m m e r and expected to be completed this summer, the 140,000-square-foot addition to the company’s warehouse facility in Sioux City’s Bridgeport industrial area comes on the heels of recently completed projects in Illinois, Minnesota and Ohio. The Sioux City expansion demonstrates Cloverleaf’s confidence in the local and regional food industry, company official Adam FeiJustin Wan, Sioux City Journal ges said. Doug Stewart, plant manager of Cloverleaf Cold Storage, talks about the $18 million warehouse expansion at the company’s “This is an illustration Bridgeport industrial area site. The project is the latest in a series of additions the Sioux City-based company has completed of our faith in the growth across the United States. and strength in the food
processing industry in Northwest Iowa and the upper Midwest,” Feiges said. The expansion of the Sioux City facility adds warehouse space and new loading docks, increasing warehouse space by 50 percent and boosting the storage capacity by 18,000 pallet positions to a total of 48,000 pallet positions. To get an idea of how much product that is, Feiges said, it would be enough to fill 22,000 truckloads with product. “Construction is proceeding on schedule, and we’re very excited to see the facility opening,” Feiges said. The Iowa Economic Development Authority Board in July approved $405,000 in state tax incentives to help fund the expansion project, which should lead to the creation of eight jobs, Feiges said. The assistance, through the IEDA’s High-Quality Jobs program, includes a

Grain processor grows
American Natural restores former tools plant in Sioux City
NICK HYTREK
Business Journal staff writer
SIOUX CITY | Restoration of a century-old building brings with it some surprises and sometimes a few delays, but Mark Schuett is happy with what he’s found at the former Sioux Tools plant. He’ll be even happier later this year, when he hopes his company, American Natural Processors Inc., will begin operations at the former manufacturing plant at 2901 Floyd Blvd. Schuett bought the building in 2015 with plans to turn it into a processing, packaging, distributing and warehousing facility for American Natural Processors Inc., one of the nation’s largest processors of organic ingredients. Schuett declined to put a dollar figure on the work done on the building, but it’s been a substantial investment, he said. Work has been ongoing for more than a year. Workers stripped the building to the bare bones, replaced windows and roofs. Concrete floors are still being repaired. Rewiring is about 75 percent complete as is relighting. “It’s taken a little longer than what I had hoped for,” Schuett said. “We want to do it right. Sometimes you have to invest a little more than you planned to make it last another 100 years.” The former Sioux Tools plant traces its roots to 1914, when Oscar Albertson and Harold Jacobson opened Albertson & Co. The plant started by making piston rings and spark plugs and later expanded its product line, introducing a line of air-powered tools in the 1950s. By the 1960s, the company had changed its name to Sioux Tools. In 1994, the factory became a division of

Mark Schuett of American Natural Processors stands inside the renovated building that once housed the Sioux Tools plant in Sioux City. Schuett hopes operations of his organic processing company can begin at the site at 2901 Floyd Blvd. by late summer or early fall.
Kenosha, Wisconsin-based Snap-On Tools, which closed the plant in 2002. Most recently, the building served as an auxiliary warehouse for Bomgaars Supply, which moved out in 2015 after expanding its main warehouse and distribution center at 1805 Zenith Drive. Schuett said American Natural Processors will use
the Floyd Boulevard site mainly for warehousing and production. The company’s research and development division also will be moved here from Cherokee, Iowa. The company will continue to operate its plant in Cherokee, as well as facilities in Galva, Iowa, and Hartley, Iowa. Once completed and fully operational, Schuett said
the Sioux City plant should create 20-25 jobs. Schuett founded American Natural Processors in 2000 with his wife, Julie. Daughter Nicole, a scientist, and her husband, Sam Jennett, an engineer, have since joined the family-owned operation. The plants craft organic oilseeds into meals, flours and oils, without the use of chemicals or
preservatives. The company processes ingredients that include soy, corn, canola, flax, rice, hemp, chia, peas and algae. Cleaning and de-oiling of grain and oil refining will be done at the company’s three other sites. Oil and other products will be transported to Sioux City for final processing and packaging. By l a te s u m m e r o r
early fall, the Sioux City plant could begin its first operations, likely liquid product packaging. The Sioux City plant will allow the company to package its oils in smaller quantities. Currently, the smallest containers the company fills are 55-gallon drums. The new plant will allow packaging of smaller jugs that are sold to restaurants, opening up new marketing possibilities in an industry that continues to grow. American Natural processes most of the organic grain grown in this area, Schuett said, but also handles grain imported from other areas of the country and overseas because the demand for organic products in the United States exceeds what’s produced here. Schuett said his plants continue to break production records to keep up with that demand. “The demand continues to go up on the organic food,” he said. “We just keep expanding with it.” The company processes products used as ingredients contained in foods that can be found in organic grocery stores such as Whole Foods and in Hy-Vee’s organic food sections. It also produces meal that is used in livestock and poultry feed.
