Korean beef processor looking at adding facilities in U.S.
A Korean beef processing company is looking to expand to the U.S. and is considering building a facility in Scottsbluff, Neb. The city countil will hear an offer to purchase 43 acres of industrial land in the Immigrant Trails Subdivision during its next meeting, Scottsbluff City Manager Rick Kuckkahn said. The offer, at $10,000 an acre, comes from the Future Food Energy LLC, also known as F2E, and its General Manager Keith DeHaan, reports the Scottsbluff Star-Herald.
In a brief overview of the proposal, Kuckkahn said the company is hoping to build a beef processing plant that would be about one-third of the size of a Lexington plant and a plant in the Fort Morgan, Colo., area.
