Tyson exits Cherokee plant as Iowa Food Group moves in
Tyson Foods leaves its abandoned Cherokee meat plant after years of friction with city leaders who accused the company of holding the town hostage. Iowa Food Group LLC buys the 250000 square foot facility for 2.35 million and plans to hire about 100 workers, with opening possible as soon as January. The move ends a decade long standoff that left 450 people out of work when Tyson closed the plant in 2014.
