A Warroad-based window and door maker is expanding its operations in Fargo.
Marvin Windows plans to build a 127,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and a 148,000-square-foot distribution center in Fargo.
The expansion is expected to create 300 new jobs.
The unemployment rate in the Fargo-Moorhead area was 1.8 percent in November, according to the most recent federal data.
There were three job openings for every unemployed person in the state last fall.
Marvin first opened a factory in Fargo 25 years ago.
It now has six facilities in the area that employ 1,700 people.
Marvin also announced it is bumping its starting wage from $18.50 to $20 an hour and giving new hires access to benefits on the first day.
