Valley City Barnes County Director of Economic Development Jennifer Feist said the new facility will play a positive role for the city and the area.

The $13 million facility does maintenance and repair work for U.S. Army combat and tactical vehicles.

The old shop built in 1960 had only 32-hundred square feet. The new shop is a 45,000 square foot facility.

Ground breaking was held back in July of 2015.  A grand opening celebration will be held later this year.
