News » Foremost gets $3.1 mil state grant for project
Mar. 19, 2010
Workers at the Foremost Farms plant on Appleton's southside will be able to make twice as much mozzarella cheese once a project is completed.
The company is renovating its facility on Spencer Street, thanks in part to a $3.1 million grant from the state ag department.
Rep. Penny Bernard Schaber of Appleton says Foremost will add 35 more permanent workers, and the project itself will create 60 construction jobs.
Bernard Schaber says by adding new equipment into the existing facility, Foremost will double its production to 130 million pounds of cheese a year, without expanding the building.
The project is expected to cost almost $50 million. |
