More than 300 jobs will be created by the project, which is expected to be complete by mid-2019. About 25,000 square feet will be added to the plant facility.
The Union City plant makes partially fried chicken products for food service. The facility employs more than 1,000 people.
“Tyson has been an integral part of Obion County for 20 years and I’m pleased to see the company move forward with this more than 300-job expansion in Union City,” Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam said. “With more than 1,000 employees in West Tennessee, Tyson’s impact on the community extends to the local farmers supported by its operations. I’d like to thank Tyson for its continued commitment to West Tennessee and bringing us closer to making Tennessee the No. 1 location in the Southeast for high quality jobs.”
