Officials in Cumberland County, N.C. say that they have abandoned plans to bring a Sanderson Farms processing plant to the area. The chicken processor said that it had been looking at building a $113 million plant in the Cedar Creek Business Center that would have added more than 1,000 jobs, reports WRAL News.
Commissioner Marshall Faircloth said that, a week after the Board of Commissioners couldn't muster enough votes to pass an incentives package for the plant, officials have decided to drop their recruitment of Sanderson Farms altogether.
