With our raw material source nearby at Rose Acres, we will enjoy a great atmosphere for our company.”
“We are elated to have this announcement of a new company decide on Pettis County,” said Economic Development Board President Rusty Kahrs. “We have been working with BioStar for many years. Our enhanced enterprise zone and the state’s incentive program were some of the key decision makers for this company to be able to bring this to fruition.”
“BioStar’s decision to invest in Pettis County exemplifies Missouri’s unique strengths in both the manufacturing and energy solutions industries,” said Mike Downing, Director of the Missouri Department of Economic Development. “I’m proud that the state’s superior workforce and business-friendly environment continues to create opportunities for forward-thinking companies like BioStar to grow and succeed in the Show-Me State.”
