Postville Facility Heavily Damaged by Fire

A major fire on Tuesday, July 28 at Agri Star Meat and Poultry destroyed approximately three-fourths of the facility, but the company announced Thursday it plans to rebuild and “remain a strong, viable member” of the community. Postville has a population of approximately 2,500, and a number of community support efforts were launched the same day the fire broke out. Photos courtesy of the Decorah Leader.
