Correction

     The article on M&S Manufacturing inside the Express’ Nov. 18 Industry Issue stated that the City of Monticello purchased the former Energy building from the Welter family, located at the intersection of Main Street and E. First Street.

     The Monticello City Council actually authorized the City Administrator to submit an application with FEMA to purchase the property based upon the number of past floods that have inundated the lower levels of the building. If approved, FEMA would pay 75percent, the State of Iowa 10 percent, and the City of Monticello 15 percent of the purchase and demolition costs.

     The Express regrets the error.
