The Texas-based company that purchased West Fargo's DMI plant last fall has unveiled its plans for the former wind tower manufacturer.

Trinity Industries is building storge tanks and other products for the energy industry.

It's first order, a 100,000 gallon propane tank was shipped last week.

DMI employed more than 200 people in West Fargo and was one of West Fargo's largest employers.

Trinity has hired about 40 people and the company has told city leaders it plans to add another 75 workers in the coming months.

Mayor Rich Mattern says it's good news for the community.

Trinity bought DMI from parent company Otter Tail Corporation for $20 million in a deal that covered plants in West Fargo, Oklahoma and Ontario, Canada.
