Description:

This Golden LEAF grant will provide funding to the Town of Nashville to upgrade its sewer infrastructure which is necessary to serve Carolina Innovative Food Ingredients (CIFI). CIFI has announced the location of a new, state-of-the-art, food-processing facility in Nash County that will produce sweet potato juice and by-products. It plans to invest $20 million and create 64 jobs with an average wage of $40,250, well above the Nash County average. This project will also offer farmers an alternative use for off-grade sweet potatoes. The sewer upgrade will serve CIFI and any other industry that chooses to locate in the area. Golden LEAF funds will be used for sewer infrastructure construction.
