Gallia County Commissioner Harold Montgomery announced that Tri-State Beef Inc, a subsidiary of Dae Kyung Oil and Transportation Co. Ltd., has chosen Bidwell, Ohoi for its new North American beef slaughter, packaging, and advanced protein processing facility. The $30 million dollar project will create nearly 250 new positions. Company officials said they expect to break ground on the new facility in 2015.
“This is great news for our community. Tri-State Beef is a quality operation and we are ecstatic they have chosen Bidwell for their new U.S. operation,” said Montgomery. “The establishment of this new facility will have a tremendous positive impact not only in Gallia County, but the entire Southern Ohio region.”
