Foster Farms announces $30M expansion of LA poultry plant
Foster Farms made a commitment in 2009 to purchase, renovate and reopen the former Pilgrim’s Pride poultry facility in Union Parish.
Foster Farms, Livingston, Calif., announced a $30 million capital investment for an expansion and upgrade of its poultry processing facilities in Farmerville, La. The investment will extensively modernize and upgrade the facility’s cut-up and deboning departments. The new Foster Farms project will retain 1,092 existing jobs and create 50 new direct jobs.
Construction for the Foster Farms expansion project has already begun; the project is projected to be completed by October.
