PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. – The Province of B.C. has announced up to $450,000 to help fund the planning and development of a beef packing plant in Prince George.
If the Prince George plant becomes fully operational, the North would gain an estimated 80 full-time in the plant by 2020, and an additional 620 spin-off jobs.
“I am excited to support the amazing people who work in our ranching sector in the North and throughout the province,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “This project has the potential to ensure B.C. cattle are bred, raised and finished in our province, providing retailers, suppliers, restaurants and consumers with great quality B.C. beef. This can provide an economic boost to rural B.C. and give consumers what they want.”
