Located at 2860 Trussworks Blvd., the facility began operations in mid-February and specializes in producing roof trusses, wall panels, and beams for construction projects.

“We are excited to embark on this expansion journey and to establish our new facility in Jackson,” said Steve Stroder, President and CEO of Trussworks Mid-America. “With the support of the Missouri Department of Economic Development, local authorities, and our dedicated team, we are confident in our ability to drive success and contribute positively to the local economy.” (Missouri Department of Economic Development)

The project received strong backing from state and local organizations. Trussworks was approved for the Missouri Works program, providing access to tax credits and incentives for job creation. Additionally, a $787,812 grant from the Community Development Block Grant program funded critical public infrastructure improvements — including streets, water systems, stormwater drainage, and sewer expansion.
