STORM LAKE, Iowa | Tyson Fresh Meats is seeking nearly $1.2 million in state incentives for a $30 million project that will allow its Storm Lake pork plant to slaughter more hogs and store more products in coolers.
The proposed project would add cooler capacity as well as replace the units in one of the existing coolers, according to documents filed Thursday with the Iowa Economic Development Authority, or IEDA. The documents did not specific the size of the proposed addition or the expected increase in slaughter capacity.
The expansion would create eight new jobs at the plant, which has around 1,700 workers, making it the largest employer in the Buena Vista County seat of around 11,000.
