Berry Global is planning an expansion in Right to Work Benson, North Carolina which will help them increase the production of sanitizing wipes. In order to make all of this possible, the company is investing $70 million toward the project. In addition, they plan to create 63 new jobs for the area. So this will be a great addition to Johnston County’s economy!

From Area Development Magazine:

“[ Berry Global has ]been here for over 50 years at this point. […] As we developed plans to expand our footprint, we considered a lot of locations, both in state and out of state. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the City of Benson and the County of Johnston for future investments in the Berry site.†[…]

“Nothing empowers a person more than a good paying job with a living wage. […] Because this company, and now this project, has the ability to transform the working lives of many residents in many generations.†[…]

“These jobs and ancillary job growth are projected to be over $5.2 million annually. […] This project will allow the county and the town to seek other grants at federal and state level for further job growth.â€AREA DEVELOPMENT MAGAZINE
