The hydroelectric project at Lake Red Rock which recently broke ground will employ more than 400 workers at the height of its construction. Rep. Dan Kelley played an important leadership role in his work on the Hydroelectric Sales Tax Exemption legislation which was signed into law last year.

Dan extended the sales tax exemption on equipment used to convert wind to energy, to include hydroelectricity production. Our members of the Iowa State Heavy Highway Subcommittee are busy building wind farms and now the Red Rock Hydroelectric Dam. Rep. Kelley’s attention to job creation and energy infrastructure should not go unnoticed.
