AMES, Iowa (AP) -- A Spanish company that manufactures animal vaccines plans to build its first U.S. plant in Ames.
David Nogareda, president of Amer, Spain-based Laboratorias Hipra, says Ames is a great location because of its proximity to Iowa State University. The facility would be at the university's research park.
The Ames Tribune reports construction is expected to begin by year's end. The plant would be in operation by 2014 and employ 60 workers.
The project still needs approval from state and local authorities.
