Hill’s Pet Nutrition Expansion in Right To Work Kansas

Hill’s Pet Nutrition has decided to work with two other companies – Midwestern Metals and Custom Dredge Works – to expand in Shawnee County. Hill’s Pet Nutrition alone plans to invest up to $31.4 million. Meanwhile, Midwestern Metals and Custom Dredge Works will invest around $2.5 million. Combined, that’s a total of $33.9 million in investment. So the money will go toward building new facilities. As a result, the three companies will create 50 new jobs. This expansion will also give locals more economic opportunities and pave the way for growth.

From Area Development Magazine:

“Hill’s Pet Nutrition has long been a key contributor to the economic growth of the entire region. Not only will this expansion allow for more specialized positions and new growth for the organization, it will also propel Topeka and Shawnee County’s reputation as a major contributor to the animal health field, as well as a leader in the Animal Health Corridor.â€

The board of Topeka and Shawnee County’s Joint Economic Development Organization voted to approve incentive contracts between the three companies and GO Topeka, the economic arm of the Greater Topeka Partnership. Through JEDO, GO Topeka plans to provide a performance-based incentive to Hill’s of up to $341,000.
