Borden Dairy Co., based in Dallas, Texas, will begin a $5 million expansion and modernization to the South Lamar plant. The expansion is slated to create more than 100 new jobs.
According to a DallasNews article by Robert Wilonsky, the company has asked the Dallas City Council for a seven-year, 75-percent tax abatement. The city will be foregoing $478,740 in tax revenue but the city states that this is a small price to pay for the company’s investment and the promise of new jobs in South Dallas.
City officials also say they are happy to support Borden as a longtime strong business in the community. The remodel is scheduled to wrap up by the end of the year. PD
