Lot sized at 331 x 661 (5 Acres -+) on the 2900 block of 9th Street SW. Other manufactures in this area are Metal Craft and Woodharbor Door and Cabinet Co. Major retailers Walmart, Super Target, Kohls and Staples are within a mile. This would be a great investment. North Iowa is strong in work ethic and voted one of the best paces to live.
