Pilgrim’s has announced that it is no longer pursuing a pet food ingredient rendering plant in Alabama. The proposed plant would have been built in Gadsden, on land currently owned by the Gadsden Airport Authority.
“Pilgrim’s regrets that it will not have the opportunity to contribute to the economic development of Gadsden,” Cameron Bruett, the company’s head of corporate affairs, said in a statement to The Gadsden Times.
