How Much is Aviagen Investing in Right to Work Texas?

Aviagen is a broiler chicken breeding company. They will soon be adding a new hatchery location in Right to Work Longview, Texas. In order to cover all the costs, the company is investing $27 million toward the project. This will also mean new jobs. I’m daft, this will create 95 new jobs for the area. So this will be a great addition to the area’s economy!

From Area Development Magazine:

“Even throughout the pandemic, our North American customers have enjoyed a strong demand for healthy, affordable chicken meat. […] We are committed to securing the supply of quality Parent Stock to help our customers put food on the tables of families throughout North America and around the world.
