- Utility Tool and Trailer, Inc of Clintonville, WI ($1.6 million) – This money will be used to develop cutting-edge alloys and advanced materials, and to expand the company’s workforce in Clintonville.

High performance aluminum alloys and advanced manufacturing and assembly processes will be required in items ranging from lightweight trailers to military bridging and shelters. Requested by Utility Tool and Trailer, Inc. for Fiscal Year 2008.
- Utility Tool and Trailer, Inc of Clintonville, WI ($800,000) — This funding will be used to construct smaller and more versatile high-performance aluminum military trailers. It is significant because the army requires smaller trailers for the new challenges it faces in its urban warfare and counterterrorism missions. This type of warfare relies on medium and light combat support vehicles rather than heavy weapons systems. Requested by Utility Tool and Trailer, Inc. for Fiscal Year 2008.
