Greater Omaha Packing Company is the recipient of a $20 million Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program (MPPEP) grant through the United States Department of Agriculture.
Greater Omaha will use the grant as part of a planned $100 million investment to upgrade and automate freezers, expand its wastewater system for increased capacity, remodel key areas for value added further processing, and increase its carcass holding coolers. In total, the Greater Omaha team estimates the capacity expansions will help Greater Omaha process an additional 700 head of cattle per day.
