DES MOINES, Iowa - Iowa will receive a $573,000 federal grant to help workers affected by layoffs at the Thermo Fisher Scientific plant in Dubuque.
The company makes equipment for industrial and laboratory use. Layoffs began in February. The plant is to close this month.
The Labor Department announced the grant on Thursday, saying it will assist about 180 workers affected by the layoffs.
The grant was awarded to Iowa Workforce Development. The Labor Department says it will provide workers with access to "wrap-around" and supportive services, such as dependent care and transportation.
