The Tru Shrimp Company has announced they will build their first major production facility or “harbor” in Madison.
Lake Area Improvement Corporation President Mike Malone says it will be a big development…

The announcement Friday came together very quickly. Malone says they all put in some extra hours..

The company had first announced the harbor would be located in Luverne Minnesota, but the environmental permitting became an issue, forcing the change in location. The “harbor” could produce eight million pounds of shrimp a year.
Malone says there were not many local incentives involved…

Malone says the company will begin construction this spring on forty acres they bought in their southside industrial park.
