The Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) has approved a loan and a grant totaling $538,000 to construct infrastructure to expand one steel supplier and bring another supplier to the Inland Northwest market. The city of Airway Heights will match CERB’s investment with $187,000 in local funds to complete the infrastructure projects.
Seaport Steel is a family-owned, Seattle-based company with a satellite operation in Airway Heights. Seaport Steel plans to construct a 60,000-square-foot building where it will expand. Brown-Strauss, a century old, Denver-based company, plans to occupy an existing facility being vacated by Spokane-based Scafco Corp. Scafco is expanding into new facilities in East Spokane. Together, the companies will invest $5 million in construction and improvements and bring more than 20 new jobs to Spokane County.
