Pepsi plant closure could cost Princeton residents
Princeton officials warn the Pepsi bottling facility on Rogers Street could close, cutting the Princeton Sanitary Board budget by about $120,000 annually. A rate increase of roughly $5 per month for all customers would be needed to offset the loss, with higher bills affecting fixed income residents. Local leaders debate strategies to attract new business to Virginian Industrial Park while monitoring Pepsi’s status and potential consolidation with Marion operations.
