Leone Grain & Supply is planning the construction of a new 25,000 square foot retail fertilizer, storage and blending facility in Peru, LaSalle County, Illinois. The Company was established in 1930 and purchased in 1948 by Bud Leone who ran the Company until 1970 when he turned it over to sons Mike and Jim Leone. During that time, the Company constructed a 500,000-bushel grain elevator, a chemical storage and mixing facility and a Polaris Snowmobile and ATV Dealership.
The company currently employs 20 and will create an additional 2 new jobs with this expansion. The amount of the investment is approximately $1,142,000.
Project added to the Zone in 2020.
