Tyson Foods proposes to build additional plant in Arkansas
The Green Forest plant currently produces a variety of partially cooked chicken products, including nuggets and portioned fillets for foodservice and retail customers.
Tyson Foods, Inc., Springdale, Ark., proposed building a new processing facility near its existing poultry plant in Green Forest, Ark. The new $136 million facility would create about 85 jobs once fully operational.
“This project would allow us to better serve our foodservice customers through improved product mix and greater efficiencies,” says Noel White, president of poultry. “This is the first new plant construction project Tyson Foods has proposed to build in a number of years, and we’re hopeful we can partner with Carroll County and the AEDC to invest in our home state.”
