ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston, Kennewick, Ga., completed the expansion of its frozen potato facility in Boardman, Ore. The $200 million investment announced in 2012 adds a new processing line to the plant, increasing capacity for making French fries and other frozen potato products, and adds more than 100 jobs.
“We appreciate the efforts and support of all our community partners,” says Greg Schlafer, president. “The completion of our new production line allows us to expand the outstanding work our employees do every day to make great tasting French fries from the high-quality potatoes grown throughout the region. We can continue to build upon the strong relationships we have with our customers while meeting their growing needs. And, we can expand the reach of foods grown and prepared in the Columbia River Basin beyond our shores.”
