The State of Iowa is really getting behind AENS. Iowa wants to be known as "the renewal energy capital of the world". A tremendous collaborative effort: $10 million in tax credits and an issuance of $23 million in tax exempt bonds. Boone County's $7.5 million tax abatement And to build Union Pacific railroad infrastructure to the Ogden plant, the Iowa Dept. of Transportation came forward with: Grant of $144,500 Loan of $95,400 The executives of AENS must be very well connected. All great news!
