R ESOLUTION R EGARDING THE S UPPORT OF A J OB C REATION F UND A PPLICATION IN
C ONNECTION WITH A LLIANT T ECHSYSTEMS O PERATIONS LLC
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth, Minnesota (the “City”), desires to assist Alliant Techsystems
Operations LLC, a Defense Systems Company, which is proposing to expand in the City; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth understands that Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC, through
and with the support of the City, intends to submit to the Minnesota Department of Employment and
Economic Development an application for an award from the Job Creation Fund Program; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Plymouth held a city council meeting on March 26, 2019, to consider this
matter.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA, that, after due consideration, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Plymouth,
Minnesota, adopts the following findings of fact related to the project proposed by Alliant Techsystems
Operations LLC and its application for an award from the Job Creation Fund Program and express their
approval.
The City Council finds and adopts the reasons and facts supporting the following findings of fact for the
approval of support of the Job Creation Fund Program application:
1. The expansion of Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC in Plymouth is in the public interest because
it will prevent the movement of current or future operations to locations outside Minnesota,
results in increased employment of 65 jobs in Minnesota, and preserves or enhance the state and
local tax base by investing $21 million into equipment and building renovations.
2. Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC has a number of locations around the United States that could
be viable options for this project. The availability of an award from the Job Creation Fund Program
provides incentive for the company to select this location, which would be required as a part of
the application.
3. The proposed project will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the
City as a whole.
APPROVED by the City Council on this 26th day of March, 2019.
