The Wright County Board of Supervisors has voted unanimously to approve the development agreement enabling Prestage Foods of Iowa to build a $240 million pork processing plant near Eagle Grove. During the past six weeks, several public hearings have taken place to provide information and answer questions about the project. Many business leaders, community organization members, farmers and citizens have spoken in favor of the project.
“We are pleased that the Wright County Board of Supervisors granted us approval to move forward with this new, state-of-the-art packing plant,” says Ron Prestage, DVM. “We are investing in Iowa and believe it is good for the state, good for agriculture and good for our family-owned and run business.”
