Business Facilities - October 2008 - (Page 19) Rancho Poultry Invests $43 Million in Lebanon, KY F ood processor Rancho Poultry LLC, a major supplier of processed chicken to restaurants and food stores, is planning to construct a 100,000-square-foot facility on a 25-acre site in Marion County, KY, that will create 250 new jobs. Two processing lines will be installed at the new facility in Lebanon, KY, capable of producing 60 million pounds of partially cooked, battered and breaded chicken products. Rancho Poultry is investing more than $43 million in the Lebanon project, and is considering adding a third line after the plant is up and running. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority gave its final approval to the Rancho Poultry project in June, applying $7.5 million in tax incentives under the Kentucky Rural Economic Development Act. “The addition of Rancho Poultry to Marion County’s corporate landscape will provide a tremendous boost to the local economy,” John Hindman, Kentucky’s economic development secretary, said in announcing the project with Gov. Steve Beshear. “[We are] pleased to partner with Lebanon/Marion County and Rancho Poultry on this project and will assist them in future growth opportunities,” he added. According to Tom Lund, executive director of the Lebanon/Marion County Industrial Foundation, Rancho Poultry’s selection of the Lebanon site “proves our community is a viable location for visionary companies looking for a prime geographic location and an excellent workforce.” Hindman says that his department has spurred new business investments in Kentucky, which in 2007 totaled $2 billion and created more than 13,300 new jobs.
