A local poultry and broiler processing plant is proposed with an investment around 20000 to justify double operations. Experts say it could employ a federal inspector and affect broiler numbers from 200000 toward 450000 locally. Other Texas plants and a new Arkansas facility are cited as context for regional growth. Community leaders are urged to support the industry to reach a plant’s viability.
