A $30-million project to a mustard milling facility in Bow Island received support from the province to the tune of a $3.1-million Agri-Processing Investment Tax Credit.

G.S. Dunn Limited expects the project to add 34 new jobs, access markets in Japan and South Korea and increase purchase of raw mustard seed from $13 million to $44 million. All of this seed will come from Western Canada, says the province.

“We are proud to announce the successful completion of our new mustard mill in Bow Island,” said G.S. Dunn Limited chief financial officer Daniel Bouillon. “This state-of-the-art facility stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of the provincial government, the Town of Bow Island, local construction firms and our dedicated workforce at G.S. Dunn.
