Costco and Lincoln Premium Poultry are looking for a new area in Nebraska to build a chicken processing plant after plans for their original site fell through. The Nickerson Village Board voted 5-0 against rezoning a parcel of land, which would have cleared the way for construction of a facility. Costco hopes to still find a location in the Greater Fremont area, reports the Omaha World-Herald.
Jonathan Luz, director of strategic planning and development for Costco, told The World-Herald on Tuesday that “eastern Nebraska is still our top choice.”
