Grant to fund Illinois manufacturing network, create jobs

Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL) has announced that the U.S. Department of Commerce has awarded a $175,000 grant to the Manufacturing Alliance of the Rock River Valley (MARRV) to help the new manufacturing network get contracts and create jobs in northern Illinois.

MARRV is a nonprofit, flexible manufacturing network of small and medium-sized companies that work together on contracts that would be too large for the individual companies. Currently, 41 companies are MARRV members.
