Brandon gains hog plant as Manitoba job engine rises
Peter Holle of the Frontier Centre notes Brandon attracts a 112 million hog processing plant employing 1,150 workers initially and expanding to 2,200 as farming grows. The facility, spurred by policy shifts and lower provincial taxes, could boost Brandon’s population and spur regional growth while Winnipeg lags with tax-heavy plans and broad spending.
