Atlas Roofing Corporation, one of North America’s leading manufacturers of building products, announced last week it plans to build a new shingle manufacturing facility in Clinton, Iowa, a town of around 25,000 people situated on the banks of the Mississippi River 40 miles north of Davenport.
The plant, which Atlas said plans to break ground later this year, represents a $200 million investment in the town, according to a news release by the company, with construction taking around two years, according to a report in the Quad Cities Regional Business Journal.
