Iowa Officials Hope Pork Plant Will Keep Town Vibrant

EAGLE GROVE, Iowa – Eagle Grove City Administrator George McGuire said the planned Prestage hog processing plant in Wright County is an example of how an industry can breathe new life into rural areas.

The $250 million plant is being built about 5 miles south of Eagle Grove.
