Gov. Tom Wolf announced today that the Tyson Foods Distribution Center will expand in Schuylkill County at Highridge Business Park and create 114 new, full-time jobs.
“I’m proud to announce that Tyson Foods will expand and create 114 family-sustaining jobs in Schuylkill County,” Wolf said in a presss release. “The company is investing heavily in its future in Pennsylvania with its own $59.7 million capital investment. The I-81 corridor has become an extremely attractive location for food processors, and I applaud Tyson Foods for choosing to grow right here in Pennsylvania.”
Tyson Foods plans to add 164,000 square feet to its existing 182,000 square-foot-facility in Highridge Business Park in Cass Township, Schuylkill County. The company has committed to investing at least $59.7 million on the project and create 114 new jobs over the next three years.
Tyson = Clinton. I’ll pass. Still haven’t forgiven them for financing that POS. Probably never will.
Tyson’s chicken tastes like what I imagine road kill skunk would taste like.
Don't expect new jobs for locals.
Do expect a huge influx of Mexicanos and their camp followers: drug dealers, pimps, whores, cock fights, WIC and EBT parasites, Section 8 scammers, DUI criminals, child molesters. The works!.
Sorry, chums. There is no upside.
Either there or Tennessee. I think that are another food company imported boatloads into Iowa also.
Prolly so, Hazelton is just up I-81 a bit.
Someone needs to inform the locals that Tyson has dropped Labor Day Holiday in Tennessee facility & replaced it with a MUSLIM holiday. They have plenty of Muslim workers in Tennessee.
Nothing from Tyson Foods for me, thank you...
Tyson just approved a day off for a Muslim holiday and removed Labor Day in Tn.
