We’re seeing the economic impact. We are seeing the jobs created. We are seeing people being able to have a good job, make a living and do better for not only themselves, their family, but our community.”IES officials say hiring is immediate. The new facility will create jobs in warehousing, logistics and operational support.IES Communications President Tom Emma said the company is based in Phoenix, Arizona, and has about 50 locations around the country.“So this is our largest location that we’ve ever opened because of the size and scale of the work we’re doing here,” Emma said. “So we expect to continue to grow that and it’s another step in our evolution as we open larger and larger facilities.”Emma said more of the company’s customers are expanding in Louisiana, and the facility fits that growth.Warehouse Manager Labrone Robinson said the facility plans to add employees through the end of the year.“We expand about 25 individuals before the end of the year, which by the time we’re at max capacity, we’re expected to have about 50 employees,” Robinson said.Shelly Olmstead, director of public relations, said, “We are thrilled to be a part of the Twin Cities community.”</div></body>
