TYSON ANNOUNCES DAKOTA CITY EXPANSION

TYSON FOODS HAS ANNOUNCED A MAJOR EXPANSION AT ITS DAKOTA CITY BEEF PROCESSING PLANT.

COMPANY SPOKESMAN GARY MICKELSON SAYS THE EXPANSION WILL ADD 200 NEW JOBS TO THE FACILITY:

THE UPGRADE ALSO MEANS THE PLANT WILL BE ABLE TO HARVEST MORE BEEF CARCASSES.
MICKELSON SAYS THE DAKOTA CITY IMPROVEMENTS COULD LEAD TO THE CLOSING OF TYSON'S DENISON PLANT, WHICH SUPPLIES CARCASSES TO DAKOTA CITY.
    

DAKOTA CITY WILL NO LONGER NEED THOSE CARCASSES BECAUSE OF THE EXPANSION.

DENISON EMPLOYS 400 WORKERS AND THOSE WORKERS COULD APPLY FOR JOBS IN DAKOTA CITY, WHICH CURRENTLY HAS AROUND 4000 EMPLOYEES.

THE DAKOTA CITY IMPROVEMENTS ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY AND SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY MID-2013.
