Sanderson Farms remains committed to new N.C. plant
More than 30 residents of Nash and Wilson counties, along with the city of Wilson, have filed a lawsuit over the plan. They say Nash County's rezoning of land for industrial development violates state law. Residents say they're worried about the environmental effects of the plant.
Sanderson Farms CEO Joe Sanderson says the opposition is based on bad information. The plant could bring roughly 1,100 jobs to the area.
