Description:

The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to provide support to the City of Kinston for construction of public sewer infrastructure that will allow Smithfield Foods, Inc. to expand operations in the US West 70 Industrial Park. With the expanded sewer capacity, Smithfield will create 330 new full time jobs with an average wage of at least $27,600 plus benefits. The expanded sewer capacity will also allow future development of publicly owned and controlled property in the industrial park and relieve pressure on other sectors of the sewer system that serves residential customers.
