(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte engineering and industrial manufacturing company has won a sizable grant from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.  $250,000 has been awarded to J&L Dimensional to help further projects that contribute to national defense.

J&L was one of three Hoosier companies to win a grant. The IEDC collaborated with the Air Force Research Laboratory to select the recipients.  Retired Major General Omer C.
