Local and state leaders gathered Wednesday for the groundbreaking for the Tyson Foods Inc. expansion in Highridge Business Park that is expected to create hundreds of new jobs.
According to the Republican Herald, the $59.7 million project will almost double the size of the approximately 190,000-square-foot facility and is expected to create 114 full-time jobs in addition to the more than 100 full-time jobs there now.
Facility manager, Josh Smith, said Work for the expansion started two or three days ago.
The site will store finished goods for distribution and is scheduled to be completed by late 2018.
