Perdue Farms is planning to renovate its current facility in Right to Work Shelby, Michigan. In order to make this possible, the company is investing $27 million toward the project. And as a result of this expansion, they will also be creating 99 new jobs!

From Area Development Magazine:

“As people are increasingly seeking cleaner labels in what they feed their pets, this new production facility will play a key role in the continued growth of our human-grade pet treat brands. […] The central location of this facility in Michigan will help us drive efficiencies in our supply chain, improve freight costs, enable access to a strong local workforce, and allow for multiple phases of expansion within the property’s existing footprint. Importantly, the project grant from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development will help support the creation of nearly 100 new jobs to the area, and we commend their efforts to incentivize agricultural and manufacturing expansion in the state.†[…]

“We’re thrilled to have Perdue Farms join the community of Shelby. […] With our region’s abundant natural resources, diverse supply chain, skilled labor and regulation-friendly business environment, we are confident Perdue Farms will thrive here in West Michigan.â€

“This is a great win for the Village of Shelby and Oceana County. […] We’re so happy that Perdue Farms has chosen to invest in our community. They’ll be providing quality jobs for our local residents, and we look forward to seeing their growth in our region.â€
