American Peanut Growers Invests in RTW Georgia!

American Peanut Growers Group is expanding soon in Right to Work Donalsonville, Georgia. In order to cover it, the company is investing $85 million toward the project. This will allow them to add a new building on its current campus. In addition, this will also create 90 new jobs. So this is great news for Seminole County!

From Area Development Magazine:

“We are extremely excited about this project and the opportunities it will provide for economic growth in Southwest Georgia. Per capita, peanut consumption has risen to an all-time high for the second year in a row, which presents an ideal situation allowing us to further drive value through the industry’s supply chain. [“¦] We are thankful for our farmer-owners demonstrating their willingness to invest in the project and community. Likewise, the support of city and county officials, as well as local industries such as LMC has allowed us to move quickly on our infrastructure needs.” [“¦]

“Agriculture is Georgia’s oldest and largest industry. In our diverse economy, it continues to be a major driver of economic prosperity in every corner of the state. [“¦] Georgia is perennially the number one state in the nation in the production of peanuts, so it is exciting to see American Peanut Growers Group continue to invest in our state and in our people. Many thanks to our partners at the Development Authority of Seminole County and Donalsonville for their support.”
