DYERSVILLE, Iowa (AP) — An Australian manufacturer is planning to build a 30,000-square-foot plant in Dyersville, a $2.2 million project expected to create 30 jobs.

Digga North America has been approved to receive $240,000 in financial assistance and tax benefits from the Iowa Economic Development Authority Board.

The Telegraph Herald in Dubuque says Digga makes and exports gearboxes and construction equipment attachments for the earth-moving industry. The company was founded in the 1970s and makes 79 different products.

Dyersville economic development officials say the company will become an anchor in the local industrial park.
